To remove any suspicious app on your iOS device, please refer to the list of infected apps here. | ![](/dst/newslett/PublishingImages//201510_AreMyIOSAppsSafe.jpg) |
Social Networking TipsSocial networks allow you to connect quickly with others in many fun ways. Here are a few simple precautions to make your social networks safe and enjoyable: - Use a nickname
It is best not to use your real name or names that are offensive to reduce the likelihood of being harassed online.
- Set your profile to private
Set your profile to private so that only people you invite can see what you post.
- Do not disclose personal info
It is best not to share your address, phone number or other personal data online.
- Think before you post
Be cautious about sharing provocative photos or sensitive information online. Your conversation could be copied and made public by the person you share it with.
