Access to the Internet is one of the main benefits of having a PC. However, there is a wide range of issues associated with setting up access and using the Internet, including:
 |
choice of Internet Service Provider (ISP) and what connection speed and extras you want |
|
security and protection while on-line - choice of firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-adware software |
|
installing and configuring your connection |
|
recognising and dealing with junk email (spam) and malicious or fraudulent emails |
|
safeguarding your personal details, including email address, credit card numbers etc. |
|
parental controls if you have children whose Internet access you want to control. |
