We recommend you apply the following principles to enable you and your family to surf safer:

• Always have an up to date AntiVirus software installed on your  computer. 
• Make sure your computer has a firewall.  This protects it from hackers on the internet, and other malicious traffic.
• Don't open attachments from people you don't know, it may contain a virus or a piece of spyware.
• Update your computer.  There is likely to be an option to install updates for your computer - enable it.
• Backup your data.  In the event something does happen to your computer, then you can easily reinstall the software but will lose your data unless it is backed up.
• Use SPAM fighting software, this will reduce the number of unsolicated email you will see in your inbox.

Finally, tell us and the whole world what you think.  If you are using something which is good tell us - if it is no good, then we really want to know.
