5. STEPS FOR INTERNET AND
COMPUTER
SAFETY
Safe-
Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal
information – such as your full name, email address, phone
number-to people you are chatting with online.Do not give out
identifying personal information without getting your parents’
permission first.
Don’t use “lazy” passwords, such as 1234. Instead, come up with
a longer password that contains letters and numbers/characters,
preferably one that references something significant only to you.
Meeting-
Meeting someone you have only been in touch
with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents’ or
carers’ permission and even then only when they can be present.
Accepting-
accepting emails, messages, or opening files,
pictures or texts from people you don’t know or trust can lead
to problems – they may contain viruses or nasty messages!
Reliable-
Information you find on the internet may not

6. be true, or someone online may be lying about who they are.Not
everything you read online is grammatically correct.
Tell-
Tell your parent, carer or a trusted adult if someone
or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried,
or if you or someone you know is being bullied online.
COMPUTERSAFETY
TIPS:
Use firewalland antivirus software-A firewall is a barrier
between something that is potentially dangerous and
something that you want to keep safe.
Update Microsoft Windows - Even with the newest
computer, there are updates to be applied. There have been
significant security holes discovered in all versions of
Windows so it's important to update your computer's
operating system as soon as possible.
Install security patches on other softwares. Vulnerabilities in
software are constantly being discovered and they don't
discriminate by vendor or platform. It's not simply a matter of
updating Windows; at least monthly, check for and apply
updates for all software you use.
Block Spyware - spyware and viruses often go hand-in-hand
but can take many forms. Some 'hijack' your web browser

7. and redirects you to their website. Others quietly download
and install trojans, keylogger programs, etc. to your computer
so hackers can take control of your computer later. Install and
run an anti-spyware program.
Backup your important data often. Use external USB hard
drives to store all of your "data", documents, photos, music
as well as USB "thumb" drives that you can carry on your
keychain.
Secure your browser.To ensure optimum browsing safety,
the best tip is to disable javascript for all but the most
essential of sites -- such as your banking or regular
ecommerce sites. Not only will you enjoy safer browsing,
you'll be able to eliminate unwanted pop-ups as well.
Don't fall victim to virus hoaxes. Dire-sounding email
spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about non-existent
threats serve only to spread needless alarm and may even
cause you to delete perfectly legitimate files in response.
RULES OF NETIQUETTE
THE MAIN RULE: Treat others as you would like to be treated.
RESPECT OTHERS' COPYRIGHTS: There are wonderful things online, information for
everyone on just about any topic! However, these things have copyrights and licenses.
DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS: It hurts our eyes. It makes people think you are shouting at them.
It's okay to type in caps to accentuate a word or two, but please don't do it all the time everywhere
you go.
DON'T SPAM (a.k.a. junkmail): Don’t send spam messages!Don't contribute to
worthlessinformation on the Internet bysending or responding to masspostingsofchainletters,
rumors, etc.

8. BE HONEST: Don’t pretend to be someone else.
USE PROPER GRAMMAR & SPELLING.
NO "FLAMING": Flaming is a form of verbal abuse when you intentionally attack or disrespect
somebody for whatever reason. Maybe you didn't agree with something they said, but there's a
nice way to share a different point of view without name calling or attacking someone.
RESEARCH YOUR FACTS/CITE SOURCES: There is so much information online, so it can
be very difficult to distinguish what is true and not true. Before posting something or forwarding
emails make sure it is factual and cite sources if possible to boost your credibility. Not only will
this help keep down on the hoaxes and insanity floating around online, but it can help make you
build a solid reputation online.
USE APPROPRIATE EMOTICONS (EMOTION ICONS) TO HELP CONVEY
MEANING. Use "smileys" or punctuation such as :-) to convey emotions. See website list of
emoticons at http://netlingo.com/smiley.cfm and
