The Dark Web is a term often used to describe a host of sites and services, most of them illicit, that can be accessed only with the help of distinct software, configurations, and authorization. These sites are often used to access, buy, and sell illegal goods and services, as well as infecting computers with malicious software and facilitating cybercrime.

1. Be aware of your online activities and danger signs. Be wary of suspicious links, ads, or sites that are not encrypted – HTTPS.
2. Never use any third-party software. This includes browsers, search engines, and other tools.
3. Install and use a reputable antivirus and anti-malware software. This will help detect and remove malicious software from your system.
4. Avoid using public wi-fi. Instead, use your own secure, encrypted connection whenever possible.
5. Use a VPN. A virtual private network (VPN) will help keep your connection anonymous and secure.
6. Invest in a quality firewall. This is an essential part of any home security system.
