My kid clicked a phishing link in a game chat last Tuesday

It was from a fake 'free gems' offer in Roblox, and my antivirus flagged it immediately. Has anyone else dealt with this and have tips for explaining online safety to a 9-year-old?

The antivirus caught it, so maybe it's not a huge deal?

Yeah, catching it is good, but @harperp24, I'd still run a full scan. Sometimes the first alert is just for a single file, and there could be more hiding.

Trusting your antivirus now is like believing the monster under your bed is gone after you closed your eyes.
