Marian Merritt, Norton Internet Safety Advocate
Everything can be more secure and more private• Facebook – you can limit account access, require more secure
pages, limit who can see your page, your posts and photos. – Visit your account security and privacy settings to learn more
• Don’t share your user name and password with others• Logout from computers when you are done• Protect mobile devices with passwords• Protect laptops and mobile devices with anti-theft software– Track their location
– Wipe the data
– Help police with photos and location info
Passwords• Unique, complex, try a code that can be customized– “I Went to Spain in 2010” > Iw2Si10– For Amazon, add an “a” and an “n”> aiw2Si10n– For ESPN, add an “e” and an “n”>eiw2Si10n
• Not a dictionary word or name• Not a phrase• Nothing a good friend might guess (like an address, pet’s name,
birthday, nickname)• Most important passwords are for email and social network
• NEVER SHARE A PASSWORD! Not with a spouse, partner, roommate, BFF, or from one website to another.

Reputation and Privacy Risks
• “Digital Reputation” -
everything you put on the
internet is permanent
• Difficult to maintain control
Recognizing and Stopping Spam
What is Spam?
•Unwanted emails•Up to 80% of the world’s email is spam•Some is dangerous:
•links to websites with malware•attachments that have viruses in them•Phishing emails – offers that are dangerous or fake
Spam examples
Avoiding Spam and Staying Safe• Never click unknown links or reply to these emails• Check sender’s email or web address. Look at the part that is
“.com” or “.gov”. Whatever is just to the left is the website.• i.e. onlinefamily.norton.com = a norton website– Norton.onlinefamily.com is not.
• Never respond to “urgent” or “emergency” emails• Never give out your private information like passwords, account
number, social security numbers, etc.• Just because it looks legit, or has the right logos doesn’t mean it
is• Don’t click links, go to the website and login as normal to see if
your account needs attention

unknown companies

Spotting Virus or Malware Infection• Your computer might run more slowly or have trouble starting• Some programs might not start, especially your security
software• You might see flickering hard drive light when you aren’t using
