Additional Steps

• Software such as MalwareBytes can help prevent harmful software gaining access to your home network.
• Be careful. Do not trust any e-mail attachments or “pop-ups” claiming to be Intellipop or someone you know. This can easily be spoofed with public data to trick you into giving up private information. Do not give your private information to anyone unless you are certain they can be trusted and verified.
• Keep family computers in an open area to minimize harmful content reaching your children and to keep an eye on internet activities.
• Have open conversations about usage of the internet. The internet is an amazing resource with the world’s information at your finger tips, but it can also be used for harmful purposes by others with poor intentions. Talking about online activities with your family can help everyone know what is good or harmful on the internet.
