Guard Dog Internet Safety (Standard Home)

Most parents and adults do not understand the full threat associated with kids and young adults when it comes to file sharing. Kids and young adults use Peer to Peer file sharing to download their favorite music which is pirated in most cases. They later find that they can also download an unlimited wealth of pornographic pictures and videos without having to pay for it. They can also download pirated/hacked commercial software. As these items are downloaded, there is a high risk of virus/trojan infection due to the high number of bogus files available for download. Addiction to pornography becomes inevitable due to the unlimited source of pornography available for download. There can also be a high risk of civil prosecution by the recording and software industry. Criminal prosecution can also occur as a result of downloading underage pornography. As more items are downloaded they are also available for sharing with others as the persons computer now becomes a source. This opens up your computer for people all over the world to download personal/financial data.
