Most websites do begin with the http:// but make sure the (s) is at the end of the address; the (s) stands for secure. Next check for the lock that is at the end of your browser make sure the lock is closed that is another manner in checking your security levels. The lock is not just a graphic it provides information about the security of the website. You may check out the security by clicking on the lock for the information. The next important thing is if the website contains a site seal to clearly indicate to their customers that the site is secured. When checking the site seal make sure the date and time are stamped on it then run your mouse over the seal to make sure the site seal is functional. The site seal will give detailed information about the security of the website by simply running the mouse over the seal. These are the best methods of making sure that you are on a secure website. Remember to check the URL making sure the address is https://, then check to make sure the lock is in a closed position, and finally check for the security seal is time and date stamped and active all these things will insure that you are on a secure site.
