You can use the Organize this Login drop-down list to save your login in a general folder. The folders that you create appear in the Save your Login dialog box.

It may sound crazy, but even kids as young as 10 can benefit from being careful with what information they give out. Look at Myspace and Facebook and what information some people post. Real names, where they live, where they will be and at what time. That is a set-up for danger. Cyber stalkers use sites like these to pick out victims. Don’t be one.

Be careful who you accept as a friend online. The other person could be posing as someone you may know or like to know and may be someone with bad intentions. If you let people see everything you post, you could set yourself up for trouble. There are scammers out there who will take over the identity of a friend of yours, post that they were mugged and had all of their money stolen and they will ask you to send or wire money to them. Don’t fall for that.

Online activity is part of everyday life for children. However, the wonders and power of the Internet are not without their challenges and dangers. In fact, today's parents rate Internet dangers higher than drugs on their list of concerns. Symantec's Internet safety advocate advises parents to take a multi-pronged approach to protect their children.

The Network Security Map lets you view the details of the computers that you remotely monitor. You can view the following details:

You can view the status of your wireless network in the Network Security Map window. The Network Security Map displays the status of your wireless network as secure or not secure. A secure network requires a strong wireless encryption. If your wireless network is not secure, you can turn on encryption on your wireless router.

The Network Security Map window lists the devices that are connected to your network. You can remove a device or a computer from the Network Security Map. You can purge all devices from the Network Map and create a new list of devices.

For example, you can purge all the devices that were present in your previous network before you connect to a new network. Ensure that you disable Remote Monitoring before you purge the Network Map. Norton Internet Security cannot purge the Network Map when the Remote Monitoring is turned on. Also, ensure that you close the Network Security Map window before you purge the Network Map. You cannot purge the Network Map when the Network Security Map window is open.

The trust level determines the default level of access that devices on your network have to your computer. Any device on your network that is not explicitly Trusted or Restricted uses the trust level of your network. The initial network trust level is set based on the configuration of your computer.

The trust level of a device also depends on the trust level of its network. When you change the trust level of a network, Norton Internet Security assigns the same trust level to all the devices that are connected to that network. However, Norton Internet Security does not change the trust level of the devices that you individually trust or restrict.

Norton AntiSpam uses local filters to identify spam email messages. The email messages that the local filters do not identify as spam are then scanned additionally through the Web Query filter. Web Query filter analyzes the signature and URL hashes of the email messages to classify them as legitimate email or spam email.

If the email message is identified as spam, then Norton AntiSpam alters the subject of the email message. Norton AntiSpam then sends the email message to your email program. Based on predefined email rules, the email program then moves the email message to the Junk folder or the Norton AntiSpam folder.

With the increase in usage of email, many users receive a number of unwanted and unsolicited commercial email messages that are known as spam. Not only does spam make it difficult to identify valid email messages, but some spam contains offensive messages and images. The Web Query is a feature of Norton AntiSpam that Norton Internet Security uses to classify the email messages more effectively.

An effective spam filtration is possible when each email message that you receive is scanned through different filters. With only one or two levels of email filters, a high percentage of legitimate emails is misclassified as spam or spam is misclassified as legitimate. To avoid such misclassification, Norton AntiSpam employs different filters. Each email filter uses a unique approach to filter spam email messages from legitimate email messages.
