Run a Scan on Your Computer

One of the simplest tasks online consumers can do to help prepare themselves for cyber Monday is to do a FULL computer scan on their desktop or laptop computer. It is very crucial to make sure that your computer does not have any malware, spyware and computer viruses.

Install OS Updates and Security Updates

The technicians at Fixingfox Computer Repair in Rochester NY strongly advise cyber Monday online shoppers to check for updates on their laptop and desktop computers – Microsoft Windows updates or Apple OS updates – and install them well in advance of cyber Monday. Updates are critical especially since some updates are security related and some take longer than others.( It’s important to have them installed with no interruptions). If your computer is unable to install or installation of updates failed, there might be a bigger problem present. (no pun intended and Santa didn’t send that gift)

Bring Your Computer to Fixingfox if you need help with updating your Operating System for Windows or Apple Mac OS

Use a Credit Card for Online Purchases

If you can, we strongly recommend that you use a credit card for online purchases on cyber Monday in order to protect yourself best from fraud. Should you not receive your goods purchased or if they are damaged, you can notify and issue a dispute and your credit card company will resolve the matter. Plus, your purchases are not being made directly with your funds directly as you are using the credit card services towards the transaction.

Go Directly to the Store’s/Manufactures Website

We advise cyber Monday shoppers to try to avoid search engines when looking for deals on goods. It is best to visit and browse directly at the online website of the store for best deals.

Avoid Social Media Click Bait Scams, Pop Up Coupons, and Don’t Open Emails with sketchy coupon attachments

There are a lot of illegitimate and untrust worthy websites and they have also infiltrated social media platforms(such as facebook and twitter) with fake accounts and announcing click bait scams that involve announcing “amazing deals” or emailing malware infected attachments. The technicians at Fixingfox advise cyber Monday shoppers to avoid social media links and coupons all together. Nowadays coupons are most typically in the form of a checkout code or in print version.
