Internet Usage Safety


  • Please remember that computers can track information such as the sites you have visited on the Internet, the emails you send, and other activities.

  • If you are in danger, try to use a safer computer that someone abusive does not have access to.

  • Consider using a computer in a public library, at a community technology center (CTC) www.ctcnet.org (national directory), at a trusted friend's house, or an Internet Café.

  • If you think your activities are being monitored, they probably are. Abusive people are often controlling and want to know your every move. You don't need to be a computer programmer or have special skills to monitor someone's computer activities - anyone can do it and there are many ways to monitor.
  • Never share your email password(s).
     
  • If you close an e-mail account and open another, ask family members and friends not to disclose your new e-mail address.
     
  • Never give personal or identifying information to any online service unless you feel reasonably sure the site is legitimate and secure.
