Risks of using social network sites.

Cyber stalking- Where you get stalked on the internet
Phishing (not the food fish)- Where you try to trick people to give you their credit detail
Key loggers- where they can see you enter your email and password
Data theft- they steal your data
using desktop PC as a server- could provide pop ups and virus's
Cyber bullying- Where you get bullying on anything but no face to face (Internet, Texts)
Mis-selling- They miss sell you information

To stop these you can change your privacy setting. Don't give away personal information. Only add people as authors that you know. Do tell people when you are leaving the house. Don't  fill in desktop serves. Don't give away usernames and passwords. Make strong passwords by using numbers and something that people can't guess. Never walk away from your computer with your account because some one could frape you.
                                            
Choosing strong passwords is a good idea because it is harder to guess  You should also change your password at least once every month.
