The internet seems like a very handy everyday tool for both children and parents, and indeed, that's what it is. However, those who have spent any time online know that certain people use the internet's unique anonymity and open communication to try to exploit those who log on in any way that they can. This can come in the form of spam, spyware, adware, scams and hoaxes, amongst a myriad of other typical pitfalls that we see and hear about every day. The regular, everyday adult computer user is always finding new ways to solve these problems and secure themselves against future attacks, usually with a great deal of success. These users are making the internet a very safe place to be for those who take the time to practice being safe.

Sadly, with more parents needing the resources of the internet in their own homes, exploiters have a new target - children - who are getting online unsupervised more and more frequently than ever before. Alongside noticeable increases in E-Crime over recent years has been a growing phenomenon of increased online sexual solicitations of underage children. Chat rooms fill up with sexual predators everyday, many of which are only targeting underage children. While an adult is well guarded from such solicitations, children are often ripe targets, especially when unsupervised.
