8 Ways to Protect your E-gold account Safe
Here are 8 ways you should practice in your daily e-gold activities to protect your account safe.

1. Use Secure Web Browser

DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER, use Mozilla Firefox browser. Firefox keeps you more secure when you’re browsing the Web, by closing the door on spyware, worms, and viruses. You can download it free at: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Most Trojans use IE's built-in Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) automation functions to access your e-gold account. It is not recommended to use windows Internet Explorer as your browser.

2. Never open emails containing attachments. Most likely they contain a Trojan

3. Always update your operating system for the latest system updates

4. Use latest versions of firewalls

5. Use latest version anti-virus programs and Update your antivirus software regularly

6. Bookmark the e-gold IP address
You may want to consider book marking the e-gold IP address versus the URL as your e-gold bookmark and only access it via your bookmark.

7. Use the SRK feature
