How to protect your kids from Fake and phishing sites?

 

It might not be possible to keep an eye on your children’s online activity. You must always ensure they are away from harmful, inappropriate, and malicious content. This article will give you some advice on how to keep your child safe from such hazards. We prefer using K7 Antivirus.

The question is “How to Keep Your Child Safe from Phishing.”

Some parents think it might require a lot of technical knowledge for complete access, which is not valid.

Here are some steps which will help you:

Install additional software

There are two forms

1)      Parental control software comes with bundles of internet security solutions and can also get the screen time your child will spend online.

2)      Antivirus software programs can deal with issues like spyware or viruses from suspicious websites that children can unwillingly visit.

Giving respect and trust to your child

Giving your child some room to grow (from their own choices and decisions) is essential. Psychology says that restrictions and oppressions from these might make them rebellious.

In this busy generation make, they cry less. But this might lead to many internet-related potential risks.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOUR KIDS TO KNOW ABOUT INTERNET SECURITY

The main objective of internet protection is to protect your children from any objectionable material. It will also help your devices from specific threats like viruses, spam, and mobile threats.

 There are specific rules which you must set and have to make sure that they follow them too.

●        No talking to strangers – Many hackers might try to lure your child and might get a hand on some essential documents or passwords just by clicking on a random site.

●        Going on random sites (can destroy your computer internally) – clicking on random links or accepting any suspicious documents can release a virus, making your computer slow, and much information might fall into the wrong hands.

●        Anything on the internet is permanent (once posted on the internet, nothing can make it go away; it stays forever) – Starting from letters and images to videos, once posted on the internet, they can never be deleted no matter how much-advanced technology is used.

 

Conclusion

To avoid that, you must install a k7 Antivirus product; it can protect your entire family’s smartphone, computer, or any devices from viruses, hackers, or other activities. This software allows you to control your kid’s online activity and prevent them from going on to random links or suspicious sites.

That’s why these applications are in dif...
