After the briefly introduction of five of the online security threat, we realize that it is important to take step to protect our information from the threat. So, we have discovered 5 steps to prevent cyber fraud. 
Firstly, install and update antispyware and antivirus programs. Nowadays, many vendors offer users more advance and cheaper antispyware and antivirus program and also offer user regular updates to existing antispyware programs. As for antivirus protection, Symantec and Norton antivirus are popular choices among the online user.
Next, install a firewall which is a software program designed to allow good people in and keep bad people out. Most new computers come with firewalls integrated into their operating systems. Hence, those who have a DSL or cable modem have an added layer of protection because these modems come with yet another firewall built in.
Another method is to avoid accessing financial information in public which mean that resist logging on to check your bank balance when working from a coffee shop that offers wireless access and add password for accessing your financial information.
Besides that, updates your browser on a regular basis can help plug up security holes, so make it a habit. Do remember to look for "locks” as the web address should start with "https," instead of "http,". And, look for small lock icon in the lower-right corner of the browser window.
Last but not least, do not open mystery attachments because the attachments can contain viruses and links can lead unsuspecting users to dummy sites where they are asked to input financial information .
