Protect Your Teens Online

Don't download unauthorized copies of copyrighted music from a file-sharing network.
Never share copyrighted music using instant messaging (IM), email, or by handing out or uploading CDs.
Install a good Internet security program with parental controls that can help block inappropriate Web sites and prevent your kids from giving out personal information without your permission.
When your teens have finished playing games online, make sure they turn off ActiveX and JavaScript; otherwise, you can leave your computer wide open to hackers.
When playing an online game, it's smartest to play it at the game site. When the game is over, your kids can switch back to their user account to browse the Web.
When buying something online—from a retailer or auction site—make sure to confirm the authenticity of the URL.
