Protecting Your Computer and Yourself Online

The beginning of a new school year is a good time to revisit how to keep yourself safe while browsing online. Microsoft has several webpages devoted to tips about how to protect your computer, and how to keep yourself safe from spam and phishing schemes. For virus protection, Microsoft has a good one that I like to use on our Windows computers, and it's free: Microsoft Security Essentials. You can find a link to their webpage explaining how to protect your computer, and tips for protecting yourself from scams by clicking here. At this site, you'll find some great information about how to create strong passwords, as well.
Have a great school year, keep those computers updated to the latest security patches, and use common sense while surfing: you are NOT going to win that free iPad by clicking on a link!
