Browse the Web Safely
Have you ever been browsing the web, looking for something? Whether you're searching for recipes, coupons, or even software, though many websites may look legitimate, they really aren't. It might ask you to install software in order for you to get that screensaver that looks cool, but it actually installs malware that changes your browser from google to something else, or even produces ads and pop ups.

That's why we created a list of helpful extensions you can ad to your web browser, like Chrome or Firefox, to steer clear of horrible websites.

Family Shield OpenDNS - This free service will block all adult websites from your computer, or any device connected to your wireless router (Tablet, Laptops, Phones). It is the same service that most libraries and school use to provide an internet filter of protection.

AdBlock - Get's rid of those pesky advertisements that try to get you to look at their product or try to get you to click on their box. Don't believe them when they say you're their 1 millionth visitor.

Web of Trust - Highly recommended add-on that lets you know if a website is malicious, by attempting to get you to download something, or possibly unethical by trying to scam you.
