The risks of using the Internet are on the increase, especially for young people, who are the most vulnerable. The Web can quickly turn from a being a source of entertainment to a serious problem if children are not alert to the dangers.
With this in mind, we have launched the ‘Kids on the Web’ campaign to promote responsible use of the Internet among young people. We want to provide information and solutions to mitigate the risks and threats that children face on the Internet.
Did you know…?
In this section you will find answers to any questions you have regarding Internet use; all the information you need to know about hidden threats and data. Finding out about threats and being able to recognize them is the first step to avoid falling victim to them.
- Do you know what dangers you face every time you access the Internet?
- Find out the most interesting things about the Internet, as well as the dangers.
- Why is it so important to be aware and to keep yourself up-to-date?

Keep them away form the danger
Millions of children use the Internet regularly. The Internet is a great place for finding information for homework, passing the time, or playing, but you should be aware of the threats your children face. The following advice will help avoid Internet risks.
- Speak to your children: The starting point for protecting your children is to speak to them. You must know what pages they view, with whom they speak, what they like to see, etc. You wouldn’t let them leave the house without knowing where they’re going and with whom, so you shouldn’t let them access the Internet without knowing what they are doing.
- Learn yourself, and pass the knowledge on to your children: For many parents the Internet is still an unknown world. Some use it for looking for information, reading the newspaper or downloading music, films and other files, but for many, the services and pages that their children are using are completely unknown. For this reason it is very important to be aware of the tools that the Net offers children, and to know what the risks are and how to avoid them. Once you have done this, you can then advise your children on how to enjoy the Internet safely.
- Set firm rules for using the Internet: You should establish clear and firm rules, with timetables, maximum online time and the way they use the Internet. Make sure they abide by the rules, especially with regard to using the Web at night. Another aspect to consider is the location of computers in the house: if you have just one PC for the whole family, it should be in a family room and not in the child’s bedroom.
- Forbid children from giving out confidential information: You must instruct your children not to give out data such as their name, address or photos across the Internet. Advise them to use false names or nicks in forums and show them how to create secure passwords (mixing upper and lower-case letters) to prevent cyber-crooks or other malicious users from accessing their email or messaging accounts.
- Teach your children to be wary of appearances: Appearances can deceive on the Internet. We have seen how malicious code can disguise itself as codecs or movie trailers, how pedophiles can pretend to be someone else in order to establish contact with children or how messages that seem to come from a known contact can be infected. Therefore on the Web, things are not always what they seem to be. Teach your children to be wary and not to do anything that could jeopardize their security or privacy.
- Install an effective security solution: To protect your children from malicious code, the best strategy is to have an up-to-date and effective security solution.
Panda Security is committed to protecting children against Internet threats and providing you with the information you need to protect your children.That is why we’re giving you the option to download, free of charge, Panda Internet Security 2009 with three months’ services and updates included.

WhiteSmoke is a program that aims to help its users produce better-written documents. It does this by analyzing the spelling, punctuation and grammar in any document, and then suggesting corrections and possible improvements. White Smoke is compatible with Microsoft Windows ME, Windows2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. It will work in almost any text-based application, including word processors, email programs, web-based forms, and so on.
Whitesmoke is suitable for ESL
If you are using english as a second language (ESL), i think whitesmoke will very suitable. And if you are using english as a first language (EFL), i don’t think this product review can help, i strongly recommend you choosing style writer plain english writing software.
How to Use Whitesmoke?
Once WhiteSmoke is installed on your computer, when you create your text in your chosen application (e.g. Microsoft Word, Wordpress or Blogger blogging platform), you can select the text you want to analyze by highlighting it in the normal way, then press the WhiteSmoke shortcut key. This is set by default to F2, though you can change it if you like. In Word a separate “Enrichment” button is created on the toolbar, and you can click on this as an alternative to pressing the shortcut key.
WhiteSmoke will then open in a new window, with your selected text in a box in the middle. Spelling mistakes are highlighted in red and grammar mistakes in green. When you move the cursor over any item, suggested corrections (a range of them) appear in a box at the foot of the screen. You can accept or reject any correction just by clicking on it.
You can view this flash demo to learn how whitesmoke working well.
Whitesmoke Grammar Enrichment for Writers
Perhaps the most interesting feature for writers, however, is the enrichment function. The WhiteSmoke software analyzes your writing and looks for ways it could be improved, e.g. by using an alternate word or phrase (thesaurus function), or by adding extra words. All candidates for enrichment are highlighted in blue in the WhiteSmoke window, and suggested additions and alternatives are shown in the boxes below. Again, you are at liberty to accept or reject any change. Once you have gone through all the program’s suggestions, just save the changes and close WhiteSmoke, and the corrected and “enriched” version will automatically appear in the original application.
Whitesmoke is easy to use
Overall, I was impressed with how easy WhiteSmoke was to use, and its effectiveness. Obviously Word does have its own spelling and grammar checkers, but WhiteSmoke’s appear to work better. This is especially so with the grammar checker, which is far more user-friendly than Word’s. The “Enrichment” function is particularly good for revealing ways in which text can be improved. Obviously not all the changes the software suggests will be appropriate, but simply seeing the suggested alternatives can jolt you out of using the same old words and expressions, and give your writing a new, fresher feel.
The version of WhiteSmoke I evaluated was the standard one, which is really aimed at business users. It would still be useful for writers, but WhiteSmoke also offer a version of the software specially tailored for use by creative writers. If you’re a novelist or short story writer, this would probably be the version to go for. It has a larger vocabulary than the standard version, and is less likely to suggest inserting business-related terms such as inventory and turnover into your sensitive description of a woodland sunset…
More about whitesmoke software version reviews, please read this post
Drawbacks of Whitesmoke Software
Are there any drawbacks to WhiteSmoke? Well, a possible one for some users is that you need to have an Internet connection open while you are using it. WhiteSmoke say this is because the program’s database is constantly updated via the web. For most users this is unlikely to present problems, but if you regularly use your computer off-line, it might be a bit frustrating.
Conclusion
WhiteSmoke is probably ideally suited for writers who are buzzing with ideas but know that they have a few shortcomings in grammar, punctuation, and so on. Even if you’re reasonably confident in these areas, however, WhiteSmoke can give you a fresh perspective, and suggestions for improving passages of text you may have become “bogged down” on.

TurboCAD® 15 Deluxe 2D/3D Software Review
TurboCAD® Deluxe 15, a powerful 2D & 3D CAD and drafting program, developed by IMSI/Design, has been launched by Avanquest Software Publishing, a leading developer and publisher of business and consumer software. With hundreds of professional drafting tools, materials and modern CAD features, TurboCAD Deluxe 15 delivers a powerful CAD solution at a fraction of the cost of rival CAD products.
With no prior CAD experience necessary, graphic designers, architects, students, hobbyists, engineers and builders will benefit from its affordability and simplicity. Complex designs can be completed easily in 2D mode and then converted into photo realistic 3D images. Once in 3D, users will be able to inspect their designs through different camera angles, adding lighting effects to increase realism.
Architectural tools can be used to design a variety of structures and home improvements, including floor plans, kitchens, bathrooms and extensions. Time consuming tasks are alleviated through ‘self healing’ 2D and 3D walls, which automatically join and intersect. Walls, windows and doors are fully parametric and can be scaled to meet needs and customised with different materials. A guide on eco-friendly design and materials is also included to reflect the needs for modern planning.
TurboCAD Deluxe 15 is not just for architectural design as it also includes drafting tools for mechanical objects, such as engines, circuit boards, technical drawings and mechanical parts. Designs can be made in 2D and then converted into 3D, where editing can continue before colours and lighting effects can be added. This results in practical images for manufacturing and aesthetically stunning graphics for presentations.

NEW! Dimensions – enhanced 2D drafting ability with New Angular Dimension for Arcs and New Surveyor Linear Dimension
NEW! Green content & information - access a library of over 50 Eco-friendly objects and dozens of materials to help conserve natural resources

The new ‘Insert Table Tool’ can create a table instantly or import a table from DWG/DXF files, as Table Objects are AutoCAD® compatible.
