While the internet can be very resourceful in finding and giving information, it can also cause harm to you and your computer. We must be careful when getting on the internet and be aware of what is out there that might cause damage.
Let's look at several important key factors to watch out for when using the internet:
I.Because of security problems, please make sure your computer has a firewall. A firewall is a program that protects your computer from predators which can cause harm.
II. Install a filtering and monitoring software program that blocks inappropriate sites from popping up on screen.
III. It is VERY important to install a virus protection program to check your computer and run scans daily. These viruses can be destructive and cause the user to not be able to retrieve any saved data. Be cautious when opening and sending emails attachments because they can spread and create viruses quickly.
IV. Plagiarism(taking ideas, writings, and so on from another and acting as our own creation) is happening more and more today. Be careful when finding information on the internet. The information needs to be changed into your own work and not copied from internet.
