We should give more attention when browsing through internet....
- Never give out identifying information: Home address, school name, or telephone number should not be given to strangers.

Strangers Online
People online may not be who they seem. Because you can't see or even hear the person it would be easy for someone to misrepresent him or herself. Thus, someone indicating that "she" is a "18-year-old girl" could in reality be a 49-year-old man.
Content Online
Everything you read online may not be true. Any offer that seems to be "too good to be true" probably is. Be very careful about any offers that involve your coming to a meeting or having someone visit your house.
In the case of Children try to do following things
- Set Reasonable Rules and Guidelines
You should lay down guidelines and rules for computer use by your children. Discuss these rules with your child first and then post them near the computer as a reminder.
- Monitor Compliance
Monitor your child’s compliance with these rules, especially when it comes to the amount of time your children spend on the computer. A child's excessive use of online services or bulletin boards, especially late at night, may point to a potential problem just waiting to happen. - Encourage their Other Interests
Children shouldn't spend too much time online - it's just not healthy for them. Encourage them in their other activities such as outdoor sports. - Try to Lock Browser Using any utility available
Consider keeping the computer in a family room rather than the child's bedroom. Get to know their "online friends" just as you get to know all of their other friends.
