Security Information 

VDNS understands that security and confidentiality are principal concerns for our  customers. That is why we work hard to protect you and your business account information during your online sessions. 

Your initial level of security and protection is your personally selected vDNS ID and Password to access your account. This initial security check verifies who you are, allowing you access to your account information while helping to prevent unauthorized access. 

The next level of security is the establishment of a secure session using
Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL). SSL is the leading security 
protocol for data transfer on the Internet. SSL technology scrambles your 
account information as it moves between your PC's browser and Advanta's 
computer systems, helping to ensure that your information remains secure and
confidential while you review account information and conduct business
transactions with Advanta online. 

The information on LinkToPc.com is protected by VeriSign, a digital
certificate solution company that offers a secure server solution by
allowing Web site developers and Web-based businesses to develop and
maintain secure Web sites for secure and private e-commerce 
transactions and customer communications. With VeriSign Secure Server IDs, users can be confident that the information they are sharing on a VeriSign-protected Web site is confidential and protected from hackers. To find out more, please click on the VeriSign link. 

Security/Fraud Prevention Tips While vDns takes precautions to ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal and business information, many customers ask what steps they can take to further ensure their account security. Below are recommended tips to help you avoid fraud or identity theft: 
* Log In
Protect yourself and your business information against fraudulent Web 
sites by always checking the URL/Address every time you log in. The vDNS 
URL that should appear in your browser contains "LinkToPc.com". 

* Log Off
After you have finished your secured online session, you should always 
use the Log Off link to end your session. The Log Off link appears on every 
page in the upper right hand corner. After you log off, no further 
transactions can be conducted without re-entering your User ID and password. 

* Create a vDNS ID and Password That Only You Will Know
Your vDNS ID and password protect the confidentiality of your account,
verify who you are and enable the system to establish your secure session. 
Select a vDNS ID and password that are easy for you to remember and difficult for others to guess. Your User ID and password should be distinctly
different. Try not to use words from the dictionary. Do not use your account numbers as your vDNS ID or password. 
We recommend that you use a combination of letters and numbers. 
Memorize your password and never share it with anyone. 

* Change Your Password Frequently

Stay ahead of the game and change your password frequently. Simply log in and click on the Change Password

* Be Aware of Cached Pages
Cached pages are pages that are temporarily saved in your computer's 
memory. You can notice cached pages by clicking on your browser's Back button. While cached pages do not jeopardize the security of your vDNS ID and password, cached pages do retain information submitted. It is best to complete all of your business transactions without leaving the computer and when finished, log off and close the browser you were using so no one can access previously submitted or viewed information. 

* Beware of Suspicious E-mails or Phone Inquiries
Never provide your password to anyone who calls or contacts you unsolicited. And while vDNS may initiate a contact requesting personal information regarding application information or security verification, it is good practice to request a callback number to verify that the call is authentic and not someone attempting a fraudulent act.

If you receive suspicious calls or e-mails claiming to come from 
vDNS, immediately contact the vDNS Customer Service Department at 1-203-260-0230 and ask for the Security Department.
