[h=3]Troll
[h=3]Troll
A troll is a person who posts comments just to get a rise out of people and cause a distraction.
Trolls might say something rude, assert incorrect information, or ask questions
unrelated to the topic at hand. People who respond to obvious trolling posts
are said to be feeding the trolls, which often causes the trolls to return and continue disrupting the discussion

A screen name, sometimes called a user name, is a virtual name that is used
to identify users of a website where social media is a component. Your screen
name can be your real name or a pseudonym

a pseudonym. When choosing a descriptive pseudonym such as tennis247 or
partyboy18, keep in mind the image it might protray and the response it will solicit

[h=3]Chats
Chats are live, online conversations. You can chat with people in a chat room or by using an instant messaging service.
Unlike having a conversation with someone out loud, everything you write in your chat
session can easily be saved and shared with others. Think before you press send

[h=3]Googling Yourself
Do you know how much anyone can quickly find out about you and your background
just by doing a simple web search? Most people don't know that personal records such
as their address, phone number, and sometimes even pictures can be easily
accessible to anyone online. While this information may not be harmful, in some
situations you could put yourself at risk by not knowing what is out there. For instance, someone
only needs to find out your home phone number, and they can find your address and directions
to your house just by doing a simple online search. Google yourself regularly to find out which
websites and public databases share information about you

[h=4]Make the Most out of Your Search
Enter search terms such as your name, email address, home and work address, and phone
numbers in a variety of ways to get the most accurate and complete results. Also, putting
quotes around your search terms tells the search engine to find a specific phrase
just how you wrote it. This will make your search more efficient

- Last name followed by a comma and then your first name: “Bolding, Will”
- Last name followed by a comma, your first name and middle name: “Bolding, Will Edward”
- Street address: “2521 Street Address Lane”
- Phone number (using no spaces or hyphens searches all instances of your number): “9195554444”

[h=4]Removing Your Information from Websites
You can ask a website to remove your information. Keep in mind that they are not
always obligated to comply with your request. If the information posted about you is a
direct threat to your safety and you need help negotiating with a website to remove the
content, you can contact WiredSafety.org. They will be able to advise you on your specific case
You can also pay an outside service like ReputationDefender to remove your personal information
online. For most people, this kind of service is unnecessary, but keep in mind that it is an option

[h=2]Passwords: The First Step to Safety
[h=3]Passwords: The First Step to Safety
Most people don't put a lot of thought into creating a password. It's usually easiest just
to create a short, easy-to-remember password, or even just to use the same password for
every account you have. After all, the average person probably won't be able to guess your password
However, hackers often use password-cracking software that can keep testing
many different passwords until they find the correct one, and they can easily crack
weak passwords. By creating strong passwords, you can greatly reduce the chance
that your personal or financial information will be stolen

[h=4]Common Password Mistakes
Many people create passwords based on their spouse's name, a hobby, or a simple pattern, since
those types of passwords are easy to remember. Unfortunately, they are also very easy
for hackers to guess. To create a strong password, you will need to avoid these types of common mistakes

[h=2]Passwords: The First Step to Safety
[h=4]Tips For Creating Strong Passwords:
Never use personal information such as your name, birthday, or spouse's name. Personal
information is often publicly available, which makes it much easier for someone to guess your password
Use a longer password. Your password should be at least six characters long, and
for extra security it should ideally be at least twelve characters (if the site allows it
If you need to write down your passwords, keep them in a secure place. It's even
better if you "encrypt" your passwords or just write down hints for them that others won't be able to understand
Don't use the same password for each account. If someone does discover
your password for one account, all of your other accounts will be vulnerable.
Random passwords are the strongest. Use a password generator instead of trying to think of your own.
Random passwords are harder to remember, so create a mnemonic device. For
example, "H=jNp2#" can be remembered as "HARRY = jessica NOKIA
paris 2 #." This may still seem random, but with a bit of practice it becomes relatively easy to memorize

- Try to include numbers, symbols and both uppercase and lowercase letters
- (if the site allows it).
- Avoid using words that can be found in the dictionary. For
- example, "swimming1" would be a very weak passwor.

[h=2]Passwords: The First Step to Safety
[h=4]Using Password Managers
Instead of writing your passwords on paper where others can easily see them, you can
use a password manager to encrypt and store them online. Some password managers
can also generate random passwords, making your information even more secure. Examples
of password managers include LastPass, KeePass, Firefox's password manager, and
Google Chrome's password manager
For example, when using LastPass, you will first need to install the LastPass
browser plugin. Whenever you type a password on a website, the browser
plugin will ask you whether you want to save it. The next time you go to the
website, LastPass can automatically enter the password for you. If someone
else wants to use your computer, you can simply log out of LastPass to
prevent the other person from accessing your information

[h=3]What Protection Do You Need?
The best defense against internet threats is good antivirus software, or anti-malware as
it is sometimes known. Antivirus software can protect you from infected email
attachments, corrupt websites, internet worms, spyware and more. There are
a ton of antivirus products on the market, so figuring out what you need can
be quite confusing and overwhelming. Therefore, we will outline the things you
need to consider to give you a better idea of what you should be looking for

[h=4]Multiple Protections
The protection you obtain should include the following three components:
Antivirus - specifically protects against viruses
Anti-spyware - protects against malicious software that may be gathering your information without your knowledge
Firewall - screens out threats that try to reach your computer over the internet
Some security suites offer a lot of additional protections, but these are the three main components that you will need.

Security Suites
Security suites are generally easier to manage and offer a wide range of protection which
can be useful if you are a beginner. However, in some cases the extra functions of a suite
are not as good as the stand-alone products for that function. In addition, some suites
have a tendency to slow down a computer
