Security Tips At Home
Some simple measures at home will help keep the online experience safer. We hope these tips will help:

• Create house rules for the usage of the Internet together with your children, so they feel responsible and part of the decisions.
• It's always a good idea to keep the computer in an open area and out of the child's room so you can keep an eye on it.
• Allow your children to use only monitored chat rooms on reputable websites.
• Teach your children not to download programs without your permission - they might download spyware or computer viruses without noticing.
• Also teach your children that file-sharing and downloading texts, images, or artwork from websites may infringe on copyright laws.
• Consider giving your child a limited user account on your computer to help keep them from participating in activities without your knowledge.
• For parents with younger children, try to have access to e-mail and instant messaging accounts to make sure they're not talking to strangers or being fooled by phishing.
• Help protect them from spam. Tell your teens not to give out their e-mail address online without knowing who they are giving it to, not to respond to junk mail, and to use e-mail filters.
• Get to know the Web sites that your children frequent.
• Make sure your teens check with you before making financial transactions online, including ordering, buying, or selling items.
