Abstract :
The writers investigated whether there were any differences in the levels of respondent Internet security perceptions and respondent willingness to use Internet security prevention tools. The study found that male students tended to possess more knowledge of Internet security techniques and were less anxious about Internet security threats than females. Older students (age 21-25) who had more knowledge of Internet security techniques tended to be more aware of Internet security threats. Internet surfing experience levels did influence students´ perceptions of computer usefulness, knowledge of Internet security threats, knowledge of Internet security techniques, and anxiety. Faculty need awareness that students require active learning and much discussion to increase their levels of experience and self-efficacy to aid their understanding and capabilities to resolve Internet security threat issues. For Internet security experts, campuses need to be vigilant about network security and develop campus-wide strategies to maintain more safe environments for Internet users.
