Check that the process is carried out through a secure server Whenever making transactions on the Internet. Several items identify these types of safe servers. One is the address that appears in the address bar in the browser, which starts with https://. Also a padlock or key icon will appear. If the padlock is closed or the key is complete (not broken), the server is secure. Disable the cookies from the toolbar in the browser you are using. Sometimes they must be enabled in order to access some web pages, they can be enabled temporarily.
Next, to avoid becoming a victim to phishing scams, make sure that the page you are visiting is legitimate. To do this, copy the URL of the web site you want to visit and paste it in the address bar of the browser. Raise the security zone in the browser to ‘medium’ or ‘high’. You can do this from the toolbar in the browser you are using. Finally, run a reliable antivirus which is updated at least once a day. This will prevent malicious code from slipping into your computer while you are browsing the Internet.
