Hoaxes and Googling might be good. I also get requests for sites that list
local information but that could be a handout.

Definitely phishing. Too easy for someone unaware to get misled. Also I
think that avoiding and removing spyware would be good. Any of the topics you
listed would be useful, and the idea of presenting things to watch out for is
very commendable.

Hi all...
I'm thinking of volunteering my time to do some "presentations" aimed
primarily at seniors at local senior centers and/or libraries. These would
not necessarily be hands-on. I'm thinking more like a "demo."
Here are some of the topics I'm willing to present:
1. Online safety for seniors
2. Beware of scams
3. Phishing
4. Avoiding/removing Spyware, adware, viruses, etc.
5. Reducing spam
6. Computer maintenance (cleanup, defrag, etc.)
I'm asking YOU for two things.
1. In the above topics, what should be included?
2. Any other topics you think seniors might be interested in?
Thanks in advance for your help!
