Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!
With school back in session, more kids will be online than ever before doing homework, looking up information and playing educational games in addition to the hours spent on Facebook and emailing and instant messaging friends they would normally do. Keeping them safe as they browse is important, so you don’t have to worry about what websites they’re clicking through to and you can protect your computer as well from viruses and other internet threats.
F-Secure’s Internet Security 2011 features Browsing Protection to keep viruses, worms and spyware at bay, not allowing your children to click through to those sites. There are also advanced Parental Controls so that you can block sites with inappropriate content and keep your kids safe.
One lucky Deal Seeking Mom winner will win a Sony Vaio 10″ Netbook and 1-year of F-Secure’s Internet Security 2011!

I really like the info on Parenting the Digital Natives (that’s me)…We follow most of the guidelines already, keep the computer in our familyroom, talking to our kids,etc. The bullying part is something that we’re just starting to get into. My tween son keeps getting emails from some classmates that are very hurtful. I learned that I’m going to speak up to the school about this and bring copies of these hurtful and threatening emails to show the school.
Thanks so much for this wonderful info. All these articles are great for todays world.
