You won't have to worry about getting tackled before you enter the store, but experts say Cyber Monday comes with its own kind of danger. It centers around how and where you type your personal information while online.

Before you hand over your account number, here are a few tips to pass along.

1) Check your Security Software

Anti-virus software should stop you from going to an unsafe shopping site.

2) Update your browser

The latest versions of browsers like firefox or internet explorer have additional safeguards.

3) Beware of email links

Some deals are too good to be true. if you have questions go directly to the store's website instead of clicking on that link.

4) Consider where you online shop

If you like to use your phone or tablet... look for a secure wifi network.

5) Buy from a secure site

Christie Dedman, the Birmingham Bargain Mom, joined us on Good Day Alabama this morning with advice on how to navigate all the Black Friday sales. She shared these nine tips for both veteran and rookie Black Friday shoppers:

1. Match it: Ad matching is the key to saving money and time.

2. Watch the clock: Don't forget to factor in time spent in the check-out lines or waiting to pick up an item. You don't want to miss a sale because you didn't consider how long each stop would take.

3. Get a buddy: Find a veteran Black Friday shopper and team up. Charge your cell phones and make sure you have each others lists to split up and hit separate stores at the same time.
