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!

3. Scan All Computers
Scan all computers with F-Secure Anti-Virus, using the latest database updates (available here). If some workstations do not have the latest updates, transfer and install the updates via removable media.

80% of emails are spam…sounds about right!

I learned that when shopping online, one has to make sure the checkout process is done via https, which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer. This means the process is encrypted and safe.

What a threat (virus wise) social networking sites can be.

I didnt realive by clicking unsubscribe on unwanted spam can attract more spam.

They offer protection for smartphones. I didnt even think our phone could get hit. But that would be great to protect our blackberry.

I learned how spammers and identity thiefs use social networks like Facebook – and to protect yourself by thinking about the personal info you post on such sites.

I learned one thing I am guilty of in trying to minimize my spam is that I should not be clicking on the “unsubscribe” at the bottom of emails, that it actually can cause you to get more.

I learned that some shopping websites will turn the link into a https which is a good thing to know it is secure.

I am a current subscriber; love and appreciate it! I have learned as a result of visiting the f-secure site, that our cell phones can become a big security threat if left unattended (who does that!?) :-D and that opening messages and installing malware often part of messages from people we don’t know can risk access to our personal information – as seriously as your computer!
Amanda Dean
I learned that 80% of emails last year were spam!
Cindy Roberts
WOW!!! Would love this :)

I am a goof! I am a fan on FB, I also receive RSS feeds…
I honestly never even thought about security on cell phones and I didn’t even think about the social sites as “traps”…ARGH!
