...your every move & stealing ur info? My dad scanned the computer for viruses earlier and he went to a page that I didn't know that what the information meant on it and I asked him what are all of those things in the page, he told me they are key loggers,people who sit and watch others peoples computer so they can steal personal information like their
Social Security Number,address,and other very private and personal information about them,we also had a virus or something from Aol and I have an account on that site,he thought that I had downloaded Aol to our computer but I told him I just went to their site to check my mail,I didn't get a chance to do anything because he said he wasn't done using the computer so I went up stairs,anyway
I am wondering should I close my account with Yahoo Answers or just keep my account,it was hell getting over a thousand points and I don't want a Yahoo suspension notice.

I am very aware about the internet thieves. I do not put anything personal on it. I do not buy or put credit cards on there. My daughter says it's really safe mom, but I don't believe it is. It is better to be safe than sorry. My husband told me a guy he works with hacks computers all the time. So if a day worker can do it just think of the people with smarts. I don't trust the internet. I'll play, talk or use it for fun, but that's all.

stuff like that happens to people who are internet-dumb.

if you have a decent antivirus, and regularly check for spyware then nobody can install keyloggers or anything like that. better yet, use linux.

what i dont feel happy about is the government "legally" spying on our internet activity
