The security of your computer can affect the safety of your online experience and your kids’.  Have a family discussion on what everyone can do to help protect your computer and your family’s personal information.  Discuss:

• Protecting personal information.
• Watching out for “free” stuff.
• Using strong email passwords and protect them.
• Don’t reply to text, email, or pop-up messages that ask for personal or financial information, and don’t follow any links in the message.
• Be cautious about opening any attachment or downloading any files from emails you receive, regardless of who sent them.
• Be aware when apps are downloaded, developers may share your information with marketers or other companies.
