  We know the internet can be a dangerous place, but how dangerous is it really? It can be pretty bad, if you not careful. Once you know the dangers, what can you do to protect yourself?
  
  Our speaker Tom Eston will talk about all this, including:
  

  • Which browser to use or not use
  • Add-ons or other programs to have to protect yourself
  • Spam, phishing & pharming
  • And just what is rickrolling
