How do I check my security settings?

1
On the menu bar, click Settings.
2
Click the Advanced icon then click the Encryption tab.

Under Protocols, verify that both SSL and TLS are checked.

Each prevents web thieves from stealing your personal information by verifying the site is legitimate before allowing it to display on your computer. Think of them like the bouncer at a nightclub: If a site is not authorized it does not get in.
