BEST PRACTICES RELATED TO ONLINE SAFETY

                 You should be careful while using the Internet. Sharing of personal information can

                    You should install an antivirus in your computer system. An antivirus is a program
                    that protects your computer system against the
                    virus. Some of the commonly used antivirus
                    software are Quick Heal, Norton, McAfee, etc.

                    shopping website without taking permission
                    from your parents.
                    When you want to download any attachment

                    from the Internet,  you should always run an
                    antivirus scan to protect against the virus.

                    Don’t share your personal details such as name,
                    address,  contact number,  etc.  with  strangers
                    over the Internet.
                    Don’t be friends with unknown people over the Internet. You should choose
                    your friends carefully and also discuss with your parents.

                    Do not open emails from unfamiliar senders.
