You need very Spyware protection. I use PC-Cillin (updates frequently) to protect against trojans and viruses and two others to detect and remove sypware. Pick One Here. In addition, I run my antivirus and anti-spyware every day. Also, do not download email message directly onto your computer. Use a third party email service or web mail provided by your ISP.

Thanks for the info. I heard that I need an "IP scrambler", whatever that is.

I'm interested in purchasing products through online places such as Amazon.com, but I'm worried that hackers will steal my personal info either through my computer or the bank account itself. The lady I talked to @ the bank told me that their end is VERY safe & secure, so if I ever have any prob's it must be coming from my end.

I heard that people can get my personal info by putting software into my computer that is able to read everything that I type...therefore, when I try to purchase anything online, they are able to get my credit card # & password information this way....so I'm scared to make any online purchases, check my bank account online, or use online bill pay because of this. Is there anything else I can do or are there other kinds of software protection out there I should get?

Thank you.
