Your Privacy - What you should know.

Protecting yourself and your internet surfing needs safe, and easy-to-use privacy protection tools that securely deletes online Internet tracks and program activity records that are stored in your browser and, as other hidden files on your computer. You should also make sure you know how websites use your information like email address and personal details. Some websites will not use your details at all, while others will use it just for their purposes like mailing you latest offers and deals. There are others that will use your details for their own purposes as well as selling them on to other companies which could end up with you recieving all kinds of things like spam, and who knows where your personal details will end up.

Your privacy starts here, on your computer.

Do you know what's stored on your computer?

Do you know what information is stored on your computer? There are many things that are stored on a PC, alot of it without your knowledge, like Temporary Internet Files and Cookies. There are also hidden Windows Application Logs which remember how often you have been using your applications. Windows Media Player also hides a history of your activity like what videos you have watched, or what music you have listened too.

Just a few places information is stored...

Your browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape etc) remembers URL'S (website addresses), text, pictures and sounds. And what else is stored you don't know about? Did you know that the hidden Windows index.dat file stores details about the sites you've visited, even after you've cleared your history? And how about clearing the history in programs such as Media Player, Kazaa, AOL, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Office -- and others?

Don't leave ANYTHING to chance...

Each and every thing you do is being recorded by Microsoft Windows. This "feature" of Microsoft Windows helps create a personalized experience, but it also allows unscrupulous people to learn more about your computing habits.

Another thing that you need to consider is what happens when you sell, recycle or pass on your computer? You can easily delete things from the recycle bin and delete cookies, temporary internet files and history through Internet Explorer, but what about all the other things "hidden" on your computer. Deleting things that are in the recycle bin does get rid of them to an extent, but did you know they are still on your computer. All's that happens when you empty the recycle bin is that your computer renames them and moves them out of the way, others with the right knowledge and knowhow can find them again.

All those Web Pages, Pictures, Movies, Videos, Sounds, E-mail and Everything Else you have ever viewed could easily be recovered - even many years later.

Are FREE firewall's any good?

One question always asked is "Are FREE firewalls any good"? Free firewalls are fine and will do a fairly good job but that is as far as it goes. Basically free firewalls are "cut down" versions of the full, paid for versions, this means that features are not able to be used unless you have the paid version. We always recommend that you purchase a good solid firewall which means you have full control and support for the software. It is also a good idea to purchase a modem that has a hardware firewall too.
