6. Internet Safety Always read a website's privacy policy before giving any personal information. Also make sure that a website offers a secure connection before giving credit card information. Keep personal information (address, phone number, etc.), feelings, or personal photos private so a bully can’t abuse them. Always use a strong password. The password should be a combination of alphabets, number and special characters. Password should never be a dictionary word as they easy to break. Password should have a length of size greater than 8 characters. Never store your password anywhere, memorize it. Never tell your password to others.

7. Computer Safety Use antivirus software and keep it up-to- date. Use a firewall. No Internet connection is safe without one. Secure your browser. Treat IM suspiciously. Instant Messaging is a frequent target of worms and trojans.
