The Online Threat Landscape The amount of protection of consumer needs is often confusing and hard to determine. Most of the confusion is what products actually protect against and what the threats really are. With the ever changing landscape of threats and scams the best protection is still your own common sense.
1. Don’t give out personal information to websites or people that you do not know
2. Don’t open attachments from un-known sources
3. If a website looks “suspicious”, it likely is.

But online, everything isn’t always as it appears, with fake websites that are near impossible to tell from the real ones, emails spoofed from your friends email address and your bank asking you to update your information (don’t ever do this online).

PCSecurityShield has introduced our Threat Matrix, a simple chart that allows users at a glance to determine what products protect against what threats. A simple scroll over the threats and you get a brief explanation of each. This easy to use chart will insure you do not double up on protection, spend unnecessary funds on protection you don’t need and ease the confusion of today’s online threats.  ¶ 8:45 AM
