Re: I concerned about my kids security om the net

Hey there @Besttrakom,

 

With so many pop-up ads and shady websites on the internet, it can be hard to keep teens safe on the web. Though there are apps and software that can block ads and detect virus or malware, our forums aren't the best place to find them as we are focused on mental health. 

 

Depending on your browser, its support forums would be the best place for how you can turn on protection settings. It might also be helpful to have a conversation with your kids about your concerns, as you might be able to come up with some ideas together for how to keep them safe. What do you think?
