Privacy, one of the most precious things to man. However, in this crazy world, you are always at risk. There are many criminals out there. But through a couple simple steps, you can be safe. Hackers may even be able to go through your computer while your online!!!!!! and your personal information is being sold all the time. I have an unlisted phone number and I still get atleast 10 telemarketers calling me a day.

1. Start with your broswer. If you live in the United States, use a 128 bit broswer, 56 bit if you live else where.

2. Never trust a stranger, unless you feel you are really safe.

3. Report anything to you ISP, they might need to know about.

4.Only buy products through a secure connection.

5. Never give any personal information, that you don't want anyone else to know, and since I have gotten too many calls from telemarketers, I usually put in fake phone numbers, in forms that are not extremely important.

6. Encrypt important imformation, you send. (this is an extra safety measure, normal people shouldn't worry about this, unless its so important, that it is your life's work or something0

7. use one of the programs listed.

8. Use a firewall if possible. (there is one in the security downloads)
