As we rely on the Internet more frequently to conduct business and 
interact with others, the dangers posed by computer hackers, spyware, 
viruses and other malicious software become more serious.  If 
unchecked, these dangers can threaten personal information and 
privacy, as well as the security of computer hardware and 
software.  It is important that all consumers take basic steps to 
secure their computers and network connections.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has created a new online 
privacy and security webpage, which can be accessed at 
www.fcc.gov/consumers.  Once there, click on the link titled "Privacy 
and Online Security."  This webpage provides useful information for 
consumers and small businesses regarding online safety and 
cybersecurity.  Over the next several weeks, the FCC will be rolling 
out tip sheets, checklists, videos, screencasts, and blog postings 
addressing several topics, including:

     -     Protecting Children in the Digital Age
     -     Protecting Wi-Fi Networks
     -     Safe Internet Navigation and Transactions
     -     Tips for Infected Computers or Networks
     -     Best Practices for Small Business Cybersecurity
     -     Tips for Using the Internet Abroad

This webpage also contains links to other sources of information 
regarding online security and privacy, and we encourage you to visit 
it regularly to view the updates.  You may also wish to
