how can i keep myself safe online?
Online safety is very important. There are a few things you can remember that will help you stay safe:
- Never give out any of
your passwords to anyone, not even your best friends!
- Never tell anyone your
last name, your address, your telephone number or any other personal
information about yourself.
- Never respond to
someone who is sending you threatening messages. Responding to them just
makes them do it even more. You can report harassment at your internet
service provider.
- If someone that you
don't know sends you an attached file, link in an e-mail, link in an instant
message or picture on an e-mail, don't open it.
- Install a program that scans all the files you download. A good program is Norton Internet Security. It also protects you against hackers and virusses. You can find more information about this program and other safety things by clicking here.
