TITLE:

Over the Router and Through the Woods: How to Traverse the Internet Safely

DESCRIPTION:

When you connect your home computer to the Internet, the Internet connects to your home computer. And with that comes a whole bunch of nasty stuff like viruses, exploits, and crackers. In this three-hour presentation you'll learn the basics of how to avoid the varied security issues plaguing most internet-connected home computers. You'll also visit visit over a dozen free Internet sites and resources that you can use immediately to engage your children [and we'll even visit a few of sites that have no redeeming social value at all other than being fun.]
