Computer protection tips:

• Update your computer operating system on a regular basis.
• Keep your browser current with the latest security updates.
• Use updated anti-virus software.
• Use updated anti-spyware software and consider using more than one, to ensure the most thorough scan.
• Change your passwords on a regular basis, as a good practice to help prevent unauthorized access.
• Download free software only from websites you know and trust.
• Do not install software without knowing exactly what it is or what it will do (read the end-user license agreement).
• Close pop-up ads by clicking on the “X” instead of clicking within the advertisement itself.
• Do not click link inside of spam email. Especially emails claiming to offer anti-spyware software.
• Don’t give any of your personal information to any web sites that do not use encryption or other secure methods to protect it.

• You receive an email message, asking you to click on a link in order to update some sensitive personal information.
• The link will redirect you to a “spoofed” website, which is designed to look like a legitimate website.
• The website will ask you to input personal information such as your account numbers, PINs , or a social security number.
• Poor grammar and misspelled words from unknown sources asking you for personal information are clear warning signs of a phishing scam being operated outside of the United States.
• Phishing emails may also be fake contests or offerings, asking you to input personal information.
• If an offer or email you receive is too good to be true, it most likely is.

Please do not send personal information in un-secure email. Secure email may be sent from the Secure Feedback form from within our Online Banking’s Support Tab.

lf you ever believe you are not talking to a representative of a legitimate company, hang up and call the phone number listed in the telephone book.
