Explanation:

To determine the dos and don'ts of secure online interactions, we analyze each action:

• DO (Secure Practices):
• "Use a long password with mixed characters": Long, mixed - character passwords are more secure as they are harder to guess or crack.
• "Use antivirus and spyware protection": Antivirus and spyware protection software helps detect and remove malicious software, protecting the system from online threats.
• "Go through the terms and conditions and privacy policies of social networking and other websites you access": Reading these helps users understand how their data is used and what security measures the website has, enabling them to make informed decisions about their online presence.

• DON'T (Insecure Practices):
• "Write your password down on a sticky note attached to your screen": This makes the password easily accessible to anyone who can see the screen, compromising security.
• "Retain cookies every time you visit a website": Retaining cookies can be a security risk as cookies can be used to track user activity and in some cases, contain sensitive information that can be exploited.
• "Share your password with your friends": Sharing passwords increases the risk of unauthorized access to the account as the friend may not have the same level of security awareness or may accidentally disclose the password.
• "Keep yourself logged in when you leave your computer": If someone gains access to the unattended computer, they can access the logged - in accounts, leading to a security breach.
