The Internet is a great resource, allowing us to connect with friends, do our homework, and even learn the latest dances, but there are risks associated with the Internet. We might view unsuitable content, accidentally disclose personal data, download spyware or viruses and at times we aren’t sure if what we have read is true.

Even if you use apps more than traditional websites, the basic Internet safety rules still apply;

1. Keep Personal Information Private
2. Be Careful What You Download
3. Choose Strong Passwords
4. Be Careful What You Post
5. Keep Your Antivirus Program Up To Date
