Now that you've looked up your name and seen what Google has to say about you, you probably want to hide or remove any private or unflattering information that shows up. To help you protect your privacy, here are four steps you can take to get your personal data off search engine results.

It’s almost impossible not to run into cybersecurity issues like malware, viruses or phishing sites at some point online. Instead of using one computer for all your web activities, setting up a separate device for online banking will help keep your most sensitive data secure.

In fact, it’s good that Chromebooks are relatively limited for this purpose.
