BROWSING STRATEGIES

                                                
                                                

The World Wide Web contains many websites that will attempt to infect visitors with malicious software, in a variety of direct or indirect ways. In some cases, such websites are obviously seedy or questionable. In other cases such websites appear to be entirely innocent, and may even radiate legitimacy or a sense of security.




                                                


 It is best to assume that the chance of encountering malicious software during a typical Internet session is quite high. Such software can come from unexpected sources. Even security-conscious users can be successfully attacked, as there have been many examples of highly trusted websites being tricked into distributing malicious software. 




Before doing a search, it's important to define your topic as completely as possible. There are some techniques that may help you in browsing the net.


1) Use keyword rather than sentences.

2) Use double quote (“ ”) to search for exact word.

3) Use ‘+’ sign

4) Use Boolean Search (using the words ‘AND’ and ‘AND NOT’ keywords.)

5)  Use alternatives (use advantages instead of benefits)

6) Avoid Stop-words

7)  Truncation 

8)  Wildcards 

9) Maximize the usage of the toolbar of the search engine
