Safer Computing
	Ways to Make Computing Safer Our presentation will go over some ideas of how to make the home-computing environment safer. It's very important to understand that no software can ensure 100% safety once kids are online. Educate yourself and your children about how to use the internet safely. Keep an open discussion going about online issues. Make sure an adult is the computer "Administrator" and that children use sub-accounts. There are many child-safe e-mail packages, portals, sites and blogs. Understand that cell phones, planners, pocket computers and MP3 players are increasingly designed to interact with online services (chats, e-mails and websites). Recording What has Happened on Your Computer These programs allow a user to record every keystroke that has occurred on a particular computer. These programs do not supervise, control or teach safety. Once a computer is being recorded in this manner it's very likely that undesirable usage will simply move to another comptuer. http://www.spectorsoft.com/products/SpectorPro_Windows/ http://www.spytech-web.com/download.shtml http://www.howtospy.com/spylock.shtml BACK TO MAIN >>
