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 learned that when I am at other computers that are not protected like mine is that I need to be much more careful about giving out personal information such as using a hotel computer. Good tips!!

I learned to that when traveling/staying in a hotel to check that the hotel has its own secured wireless network before making a booking. I always assumed that the connections in a hotel would be safe even though I know one should never assume.

Make sure the web line has https:// when you are shopping online. This shows that it is a secure site. (As opposed to just https:)
