  Adopt Virtual Pets and Adopt Computer Pets Safely

  Many cyberpet game sites ask for personal information! Use caution in providing personal information. Children should get their parents involved, before supplying family information. Install a good virus protection program and use it when downloading software. Virtual Pet Adoption can be a lot of fun, just be careful. For those interested in learning more about "safe" practices on the Internet, see CyberSavy.

   

• Birthday sites - The sites below ask for your specific birthday information. We strongly suggest not providing that information online to them or other similar sites. You can just make up a birthday a year or more after yours and put that in if it forces you to supply your birthday. Some sites ask for your birthday to provide different content to different groups, others use it to direct specific advertising to you or to sell your name to advertisers. Whatever the intended purpose, it could one day be used for bad purposes.
