If you are looking to connect to the Internet through an Internet service provider then you may be exposing yourself to the dark web. The dark web is part of the Internet and anyone can browse it. Because of this, exposing yourself to the dark web can expose you to viruses, malware and other harmful programs. If you are looking to view certain information or to download files, then it is important that you use an approved site.

The dark web links can also expose you to malware such as keyloggers, spyware and cookies. If you connect through a secure VPN then there is little or no chance of exposing yourself to these types of programs. However, if you are using Facebook or a similar social media then you are vulnerable to dark web links and this is because the dark web contains malware programs known as keyloggers and cookies that watch your every movement on the internet. Hence, always make sure that you have updated antivirus software on your computer and that you use a reputable VPN.

In addition to the social media websites such as Facebook you will find several more such as YouTube and even a few email providers such as Gmail and Yahoo. Therefore, if you connect through any one of these email providers then you are potentially opening up yourself to the dark web links as well. Always remember that anything on the Internet that is not recognized is considered to be a malware program. Therefore, whenever you visit any site, whether it be a social networking site, a social email provider or a website for your business, always ensure that you are protected against malware and you are downloading from an approved site.
