A presentation made by me of how to be safe on the internet (cyber safety).

1. CYBER SAFETY Internet safety or online safety or cyber safety or E-Safety is trying to be safe on the internet and is the act of maximizing a user's awareness of personal safety and security risks to private information and property associated with using the internet, and the self-protection from computer crime.

4. Computer virus For everyday Internet users, computer viruses are one of the most common threats to cybersecurity. Statistics show that approximately 33% of household computers are affected with some type of malware, more than half of which are viruses. Computer viruses are pieces of software that are designed to be spread from one computer to another. They’re often sent as email attachments or downloaded from specific websites with the intent to infect your computer — and other computers on your contact list — by using systems on your network. Viruses are known to send spam, disable your security settings, corrupt and steal data from your computer including personal information such as passwords, even going as far as to delete everything on your hard drive.

5. TROJAN HORSE  Trojan malware takes its name from the classical story of the Trojan horse, because it imitates the technique to infect computers. A Trojan is a malicious program that pretends to be harmless in order to trick people into downloading it. Unlike viruses, Trojans do not self-replicate by infecting other files or computers.

6. ADWARE OR SPYWARE Spyware is a type of malware that aims to gather information about a person or organization, without their knowledge, and send such information to hack another entity without the consumer's consent. Furthermore, spyware asserts control over a device without the consumer's knowledge, sending confidential information to another entity with the consumer's consent, through cookies.

7. HOW CAN WE STAY SAFE ON THE  INTERNET? Don`t give out personal information like:- Not sharing your name, your address, phone number, photo or your email account. Block strangers and people whom you don’t know.
