| TECH TIP - STOP THE
POP-UPS |
How to block pop-up ads
 You've won a million dollars! Mortgages at
only 1% interest!
How many times have you seen a similar pop-up
ad on your screen, followed by 100 of its closest friends? Pop-up ads have quickly become a major annoyance for Internet users.
Fortunately, there are ways to hold them at bay.
Windows users of Internet Explorer: The
Google Toolbar is a FREE utility that does a wonderful job of blocking pop-ups and gives
you a convenient way to search from any web page. Its simple, safe and
effective. You may download this application by clicking here:
http://toolbar.google.com
Yahoo also has a similar application.
Check that out by clicking here:
http://toolbar.yahoo.com
Macintosh OS X users: You are in luck -
the Safari web browser has a built-in pop-up blocker. To enable the Safari pop-up
blocker, click the Safari menu and check 'Block Pop-Up Windows'. We are not aware of
any good free or low-cost pop-up blockers for older versions of Mac OS, but if you know of
one, please let us know at info@usfamily.net and
we'll include it in a future newsletter. |

| KEEP YOUR KIDS SAFE |
Kid friendly, parent approved web-surfing
The Internet has become a wonderful tool in our everyday lives. We can keep in touch
easily with our friends and family over e-mail, shop online, and get the latest news,
weather and sports information. On top of that, the Internet contains a vast amount
of information for constantly teaching our children. Unfortunately,
you can't always be watching what your children are doing online. That is why it is
extremely important to talk with your kids about the dangers of the Internet. Use
the following links as guidelines for discussing proper Internet usage with your children:
- Public
Safety - Kid's Safety on the Internet
- FBI - Internet Safety for Kids
- Safe Kids - Support Child Safety on the web
- Wired Safety Organization - Online
