Protecting Your Personal Privacy and Identity Online
By Craig Palmore
Many of us spend significant time on our computers working and doing various personal business. We access bank accounts, log-on to sites, and surf the web to areas of interest. When we do all these great and convenient things, we also need to ensure we are taking the steps to protect our privacy and the security of our personal information. That does not happen automatically. Your computer doesn't protect you automatically as you might hope it would. We each must be aware of the areas of vulnerability and take the steps to protect our privacy.
When you connect to the internet and surf the web, there are two things you need to be aware of that affect your privacy. First, everywhere you go on the internet and everything you see and do when on-line can be tracked and recorded through your internet service provider. You can do something about that. You can protect the privacy of your internet activity by using an anonymizer service. There are a number to choose from. Learn more about how an anonymizer service works, and why you need to use one by clicking here to see more. Then take a look at the Kaxy web proxy. When you use an anonymizer service prying eyes will not be able to track your web surfing through your internet service provider (ISP). That's an important step to protecting your privacy.
Secondly, when you surf the web, your computer is storing files and creating records of where you have been and what you have looked at. You need to clean those hidden files and records that are being created and stored on your computer. It takes a special program to do that. Try Evidence Eliminator.

Your computer - like the networks we use to connect our computers to the web - needs to be secure to protect against identity theft. Identity theft is a fast growing problem. When you're online it is important that you protect your privacy and the information you share about yourself.
