Internet
is a big pool of information from where information on any topic can
be extracted. But information can be useful as well as harmful for
us. So while surfing, accessing information or downloading any type
of resources from internet, proper care should be taken. If the
resource being downloaded is suspected to be infected with some
malware, it should not be downloaded. There are various anti virus
engines that are available online to scan the files before they are
downloaded. There are various websites like

children while surfing the net.
Some of the
safety tips for students are as follows:
