Shopping on the Internet can be a worrying experience. Not a day goes by without hearing one horror story or another. Hackers, rogue traders, the DotCom bubble bursting.. However, online shopping or e-commerce is here to stay and if you use some common sense you'll never be at the receiving end of a fraudster's attention.

Rule number one, use respectable companies of a known pedigree or a good High Street name.

Rule number two, never part with your credit card details unless the trader guarantees that the transaction is secure through what is known as SSL encryption. The tell-tale that SSL is on is the little 'locked' padlock on the bottom border of Internet Explorer. Other Browsers such as Netscape, FireFox and Opera use similar 'signs' to tell you that it is safe to proceed.

Rule number three, make sure that your computer is well protected against viruses, Trojans, Worms and such-like. Even if you don't understand what these are, an up-to-date Anti-Virus program will take care of all that. The relevance of this to online shopping is that however well protected the communication between your PC and the trader's system is, if your computer has been broken into -so to speak- your activities could be relayed to a hacker using a 'back-door' (a communications channel between your PC and a hacker's computer that you are not aware of).
