The first tutorial that I watched was Protecting Your Family Online. I will be sharing to others that they should be clearing their cache from their temporary files, and to keep an eye on their history if the have children. If they have children and they see that the history is being cleared, the they should have a talk with them about Internet use.
Good Safety and Security Habits was number two in my list of tutorials. I will be sharing to others to not check the box to hide your file extensions. If a file is a virus, you would not know it and will receive a virus if you are to click on it. I didn't realize that you could use that option which will also help in determining what kind of files you have. Be aware of the .exe label at the end of your documents.
Helpful tip that I will be sharing is to avoid clicking on pop-ups. No matter what the pop-up is, you could be inviting viruses and not even know it. Yes it may send you to what it is advertising, but 2 out 3 times, it is not. I have been faced with those pop-up adds that does not have a close button. To click out of this pop-up, you can use, control W on your keypad. That is a very helpful tip.
I wanted to view tutorials that I am faced with daily, and I learned some important facts about Internet safety and control. I'm glad I have this resource to refresh my knowledge.
Interesting about showing hidden files or extensions. For years we were told not showing them protected us from accidental deletion. Who knew there was a better reason to actually see those file extensions.
