How can you protect yourself?

Ask an adult to help you

back up all of your

important files.

Install anti-virus,

spyware and malware

software to protect your

computer from net nasties.

Popups can often offer you something that

is too good to be true. Beware of

the scam.

If you receive an email or attachment from someone you don’t know, ignore

it, do not open it and inform a

responsible adult.

Always use a strong

password.

Passing on junk mail to your friends and online

communities is spamming.

Avoid it at all times. *
