There are many things you can and should do to prevent online fraud and protect your personal information online.

		Keep your passwords confidential and change them frequently to help ensure that others cannot guess them. Avoid using passwords that are "guessable," such as names, birth dates, addresses, etc.
		Never leave your computer unattended while logged onto your Web Branch account. Click the "Log off" button to properly end your Web Branch sessions and prevent further transactions. Then close your browser.
		Install Anti-Virus software. It's crucial to have scanning software, otherwise a virus can go undetected and wreck havoc on your system. Remember to run a system check and update the software daily.
