Netiquette and Internet Use

MSN Internet safety
Microsoft® and MSN® maintain a web site providing advice for parents on how to protect children from dangers in the Internet. The site contains five safety tips that the parents and children should study together:

Tip 1:	Do not share your personal details with anyone.
Tip 2:	Remember that people may give false information about themselves on-line.
Tip 3:	Do not open attachments sent by strangers - you would not open your door to a stranger.
Tip 4:	Tell an adult you can trust about any net content you feel uncomfortable with.
Tip 5:	It may be dangerous to meet on-line strangers.
