The internet is indeed a worldwide web where almost anything we should need or want can be found, but remember – it’s also a web in which children could find themselves in danger

How can I help my children stay safe online?

First think about the possible dangers they face. These include the following:

• So-called ‘drive-by downloads’ (i.e. malicious programs that install on your computer automatically when you view a web page);
• The risk of infection through peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing programs that give others access to your computer;
• Unwanted advertising, including pop-ups and adware programs: these are sometimes installed automatically with freeware programs that are available for download on the Internet;
