Internet
security policies and practical guidelines to help
provide Internet security for children and their families.
♥
1. Take an active interest in your child's activity online.
Do NOT use the Internet as a babysitter! Your goal is "Family Safety
Online".
2. Position
your child's computer monitor so
you can see and control what's showing from the internet.
3. Bookmark child safe web sites so your children can easily
get back to them. Make sure you understand the
games
they are playing online.
4.Teach children that they should never give out personal
information over the Internet to protect the Family Safety.
5. Make it clear to your child that people in chat rooms are
ALWAYS strangers, no matter how often they chat to them, and no
matter how well they think they know them
Sounds simple,
doesn't it? But it
doesn't work unless our kids 'Get It'

File Sharing and the Spyware
Threat |
Many peer-to-peer applications install spyware as part of
the
P-2-P file sharing and downloading process.
The demand for peer-to-peer file sharing applications has skyrocketed.
Today's young children and teen-agers are very informed and knowledgeable
about using peer-to-peer file sharing applications...
...but
many parents are not.
Parents need to understand the risks associated with allowing peer-to-peer
file sharing in the home and to implement proper Internet filtering and
parental controls. Find out from the
FTC File Sharing Consumer Alert
Purveyors of pornography are among the most clever and devious web creators
using the internet.
Many people are aware of Napster, the peer-to-peer
network originally created a few years ago to exchange music without any fees.
Porn peddlers are using these same methods, but instead of sharing music
and songs, they are making it easy to share the most popular pornographic
materials, including X-rated adult videos.
They have not overlooked the potential of XXX rated
peer-to-peer networking to distribute their stuff, nor have they
overlooked the tremendous popularity and mass appeal of social
networking like MySpace, UTube, etc. Social network security is
important for the whole family.
All
the more reason for parents to be be tuned in to family safety and control the Internet content coming
into the home.

Downloading can be
treacherous to Family Safety |
It's possible for parents to adjust the security
settings of their Internet Browsers to control to a certain
degree, what can be downloaded from the internet to control
Internet security for children.
♥
For example:
1. Open Internet Explorer (double click the blue "e" icon)
2. Click Tools, Internet Options, Security Tab. Click the Custom
Level button.
3. Scroll down to the Downloads section. You'll see 'Enable' and 'Disable'
as options. Click the Disable item. Click OK, then click OK again and
you're done.
This tells the browser it can't download any files from the
Net. It's kind of tricky. You can enable and disable a lot of other
browser features while you're in there looking around.
You can adjust your security settings to keep from downloading anything.
