Fraud prevention

Here are a few pointers I learned after someone illegally accessed my bank account and transferred thousands of dollars from my account to theirs.
One is to always completely type out the web site of the bank when going to it rather than using the history list or, worse yet, a search engine.  

Another is to perform a full system virus scan occasionally. The automatic virus protection that most of us have does a"quick scan" that does not penetrate each and every file. You should manually do the full system scan which will take an hour or more. 

Of course, be careful with those passwords. Don't store them on your device and use ones that don't "make sense". Maybe keep a small notebook in your purse? Seems so non-techno but may be a safer way
