Online Safety Tips

  • Secure Your Computer
    You're responsible for the use of your service account. You should secure your computer equipment so that only authorized users can gain access to your service account.
  • Block Spam
    Use the AT&T Worldnet Service Spam Blocker to filter out unwanted e-mail and other junk bulk mail.
  • Regularly Scan for Viruses
    Always perform a virus scan on files e-mailed to you or downloaded from the Internet.
  • Use a Firewall
    If you have an 'always-on' connection to the Internet (cable, DSL, etc.), installing firewall software can help protect your PC.
  • Protect Personal Information
    Never post or disclose any personally identifiable information belonging to children. Children and teens should be especially careful not to give anyone personal information about themselves such as real name, phone, address, city, URL, age, gender, or e-mail ID.
  • Keep E-mail Address Private
    If you wish to include your e-mail address on a web page you've created, please be aware that Web crawlers can visit your page, pull the e-mail address and proceed to use it in mass e-mailings.
  • Password Protect Your Personal Web Page
    Consider taking advantage of our Password Protection feature for your AT&T Worldnet Service Personal Web Pages, particularly if you want to display photographs and/or personally identifiable information.
