Spotting Secure Websites

Before you make an online shopping purchase, check that the site's checkout page is secure. A small lock should appear in the bottom of your browser window, but this isn't always sufficient evidence. Look at the secure site's URL. The URL should start with https instead of http if the page is secure.
