This is
a great place for both new and advanced Web users to find information
on using the Internet wisely.
CityDex Internet Safety Tips
1.Keep your passwords private, even from your best friend! Your
online service will never ask for them, so neither should anyone
else.
2.Use only your member name and/or e-mail address when chatting
or sending e-mail. Never give out personal information like
your name, address, or phone number.
3.Always delete unknown e-mail attachments before opening them.
They can contain destructive viruses.
4.Remember that nothing you write on the Web is completely private
- including e-mail. So be careful and think about what you type
and who you tell.
5.Not everyone is as nice, cute and funny as they may sound
online. Never make plans to meet an online "friend" in person.
Tools for Families
A number of tools exist to help parents manage their children's
online experience, including hardware and software programs
that provide filtering options. Below are links that contain
useful information on choices and levels of filtering that parents
can use during family time on the Web. You can download special
software or purchase specific hardware that will limit surfing
to sites you deem appropriate for your household. Many of these
services are free of charge; others require some form of payment.
