These methods help users keep their information and data safe, but also they can furthur use their computers freely, without worries.

Examples of safe computing is to have antivirus and firewalls installed. the antivirus can protect you from any virus that try to take control of your computer.

This will get rid of your risks of that information getting leaked. You can also limit the amount of information you leak to others. This wll also reduce the chances of private information getting leaked, since nobody will know it except you.
