The Website http://www. staysafe.org/index.html is an educational site. It is a must for everyone
to visit this site. ‘
Staysafe’ has researched out the likely browsing pattern of various age groups and Web pages they often visit. With these facts in mind ‘Staysafe’ has calculated the risk factors. As a result ‘Satysafe’ has come out with Web pages for ‘Teens’, ‘Parents’, ‘Educators’, and ‘Toolbox’. The information stuff is highly relevant for the age group. The message from ‘Staysafe’ is ‘Wherever you are in your life choose one of the categories below to learn how you can stay safe online.’
TEENS: Teens are suggested to protect themselves and their computers. Suggestions are provided for online shopping, online chatting, online network safety etc.,

50+: There are suggestions even for grannies, for their family. The Topics of interest include parental control, online shopping, safeguarding personal information etc.,
EDUCATORS: There are suggestions to teachers who teach the safety measures while using computer and during Internet browsing.
TOOLBOX: The topics are mostly on information security. It highlights the awareness of information security.
Staysafe’s concern is to guide the PC / Laptop users and Internet browsers to understand both the positive aspects of the Internet as well as how to manage a variety of safety and security measures. It emphasises the need to protect the computer against spyware, adware, viruses, trojans, phishing sites, worms, and all those other diabolical programs.
