Protecting Children on the Internet- How can I block sites?

November 30th, 2008

My mom has a daycare, and we noticed 1 older child, 11, was looking at stuff he should not look at, I mean, you can't have your eye on the child at every second. Is there a program my mom can buy or even another cheaper way of doing it, to block him from certain sites, or to allow access to only certain websites? I heard of Netnanny, are there others?

At a daycare your mom and you should not let the kids go on a computer. But anyways you should find out he site to download firewall. Its eaasy to use too. You can type in the sites the children can go on or you can click on options and there is choices of block naked girls block site with searing and stuff like that.

Every Monday Matters 09 : Protect Yourself with Internet Safety

November 30th, 2008

I use computers a lot.
Some people might call me a geek.

I’m here to tell you that the internet is not 100% secure.
It’s not 100% safe, and it’s not 100$ hacker-proof.

That’s the bad news.
The good news is it’s not 100% dangerous either, and if you’re vigilant, there are some steps you can take to minimize your risk online

Step 1: Passwords
Your first line of defense is always your password.
A good password has a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.
A longer password is always stronger. 10 characters is good, 20 characters is better.
Resist the temptation to use the same password on every website you go to.
You should use a different password everywhere you login. That way, if somebody cracks one of your passwords, they don’t have the keys to your full identity.
Change your password often, like once a month. But don’t make it just the name of the month.
Now everybody is going to try to login to my email with the password pathawksoctober

Step 2: Be suspicious
If you get an email from some lawyer in Europe that you’ve never talked to before, don’t open it.
If you start seeing messages that say “CLICK HERE! CLICK HERE NOW!” Don’t click on them.
Either talk to your companies IT director, or your 12 year old brother who knows more about computers than you could ever hope to know.
Either way, they can tell you how to securely get rid of these messages.

Step 3: Keep Private Stuff Private
Assume that anything you put on the internet will be there forever.
This blog will be here forever.
So think twice before posting that picture of you holding up your drivers license with you social security number and your phone number and mothers madden name.
For me, I decided that I don’t mind having my real name online.
Unless Pat Hawks isn’t my real name.
Maybe it’s Richard.
But I’m not going to give you my mothers madden name, or my social security number, or my drivers license number, or those pictures of my boss with the feather boa around his neck.
That’s important for different reasons.

Step 4: Use a Firewall and Anti-Virus Software
When you’re using a computer at work, your company probably already has these tools set up for you.
If you have any questions, you can talk to your local IT master. I’m sure they’d be willing to talk to you in two hours or less about the whole network setup using big words you don’t understand and looking at you like an idiot when you ask what TCP/IP stands for.

What is the best internet filter out there to download?

November 29th, 2008

I want to install a thing on my computer that will keep anything nasty and vulgar from popping up or coming onto my computer and with ease (and am not computer literate, at least not when it comes to this) set it up to what I would prefer it blocking. You know, basically I don’t want any kind of lewd pics or sites and if you search something online, sometimes you get not so good sites in the search results if you aren’t careful. I want to be able to surf the net without worrying about this crap.

Do you agree with the way Obama voted when it came to protecting children from porn?

November 27th, 2008

In 1999, Obama voted against requiring school boards to put Internet pornography filters on school computers meant for students' use. In 2001, he voted "present" on a bill to keep pornographic book and video stores and strip clubs from setting up within 10,000 feet of schools and churches. In 2003, he voted in the Health and Human Services Committee for a bill requiring "age appropriate" sex-education for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.

obama is stupid.
children are always gonna find porn no matter what.
