  The world of computers and the internet can be quite intimidating to new users.  Often people who are unfamiliar with computers are afraid to explore their computers for fear of "breaking" something.  However once that fear is overcome, most people quickly become quite proficient at using their computers. 

Even more prevalent than the fear of hitting the "wrong" button on the computer is the fear of the dangers of the internet.  News media screams out from every corner of our world the dangers of viruses, "hackers", spyware, online predators, cyberterrorism, identity theft, and so on and so forth. 

Fear of these unknown dangers can really limit people's freedom to explore the online world.  This is really unfortunate because people become afraid of trying new sites and learning more about their online world.

In the next few web pages, we'll help you develop an understanding of the various problems you might encounter online and teach you how to prevent them from happening to you.  Once you learn that many problems can be avoided with a little knowledge and common sense, your confidence in your internet abilities will increase as will your enjoyment of being online.
