Thanks for downloading this show from PC1. Before we get rolling, here's a word from one of the folks who helped bring you this podcast.

The following program is a podcast1.com production.

I'm glad you're with us here on the Clark Howard Show where it's about you learning ways to save more and spend less.

Don't let anyone ever rip you off and talk about how to prevent one type of rip-offs in just a second.

Clark.com is our web address. You got a question for me.

Clark.com slash ask.

Coming up in 20 minutes in today's Clark Regist moment, there's something I want to make sure you don't give your young child.

Tell you what you need to know to protect their health.

And in a half hour, speaking of children, as a parent, I can tell you how difficult it is with video content to make sure that what they're watching is not going to be unsuitable or put it positively is going to be suitable.

There's a new streaming service that guarantees that the content available to your child will be child-friendly.

I want to talk right now about you being careful on the web.

There are so many ways that criminals hack into information.

And there are now more and more opportunities for you to be aware of when you're potentially at risk when your information is at risk.

And Google, if you use the Chrome browser, which you can use on a Windows computer, a Chromebook, a Macbook, the Chrome browser now has a very simplified way for you to know that a site that you are going to may not be secure.

When you put in a web address, and it's going to that web address, on a Chrome browser right next to that web address, there will be a little eye if Google is worried about the safety and security of you going to that website.

This is very important in any website where there are user names, passwords, financial stuff, buying stuff where you're putting in a credit card, anything like that.

There are general information sites, not that important, but at any place where you're going to touch security issues, financial, anything like that.

If you see that eye, that little teeny eye, it is a special warning for you before you proceed on that website.

And if you click on the eye, Google will tell you what the potential threat could be to you proceeding on that website.

It's a very, very simple way for you to keep your information private.

And more and more websites are scrambling to meet the standard of security that tackies know so well, HTTPS.

And you don't have to worry about that if you use the Chrome browser because you'll know immediately after you type in a web address, whether there is a potential security threat.
