Do you talk to your children about the dangers and risks of using the internet, and teach them how to be safe online? Yes — I make sure my children understand that the internet is a fun place to play but that they need to look out for dangers too

My children are already pretty clued up about computers — in fact they probably know more than me. I don't think I need to speak to them about it

What dangers and risks?

4. Do you have anti-virus software and a firewall installed in your computer at home, to stop other web users accessing your computer while you are online?

Are you and your child aware of the threat of 'phishing' - when fraudsters may try and fool you into revealing personal information for criminal gain? Yes — I am always suspicious of emails from people I don't know or pop-ups that ask for personal information

Phishing? Is that a spelling mistake?

I know phishing is a danger online but I'm not sure how to prevent it
