If you've used the internet, you've probably had the experience of unwanted emails or intrusive popup adverts.

You might have suffered a virus attack or been the victim of online fraud.

This is why HM Government and leading businesses have worked together to create Get Safe Online, www.getsafeonline.org.

This website will help individuals and small businesses protect themselves against internet threats such as viruses, spam, spyware and online fraud.

Get Safe Online contains nearly 100 articles including advice for small business owners and parents.

It has been written for normal people not computer geeks.

The team behind the site includes HM Government, BT, Dell, eBay, HSBC, Lloyds TSB, MessageLabs, Microsoft, the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit, securetrading and Yell.com.
