  How_Spyware_creeps_in Comment

  Downloading anything scares me. I downloaded a couple of programs from legit sites a couple of days ago. The next day I turned on my computer and it was so slow. I deleted the programs and rebooted. Now it is back to normal. You really have to be...

  Anti_Spyware_Software Comment

  I have heard great things about spybot, if I remember correctly that is what we had on our old laptop. Now we have a package deal we got from Best Buy that doesn't include...

  Privacy_or_Paranoia Comment

  I have miniblinds and curtains on every window. I just like having as much privacy as possible. Sometimes people knock at the door and I don't even answer it. They can't look through my windows and see if I am home and I like it that...

  Hiding_Cash Comment

  Robbers pull everything out of drawers, closets, and shelves. What's stopping them from just stealing your safe if it is in clear site? What if you aren't good with money so a checking account is impossible for you. What do you do...

  Too_much_spam Comment

  Oh yeah, the small email accounts can't even hold spam. I have one similar to what you are talking about. It is unbelievable how fast spam mail grows. I can get 20 in a matter of...

  Underage_Chat Comment

  You both make really good points. I guess the only thing to do is let parents monitor them. But, there are many parents that work and kids are home alone. I just wish there was a way to protect those kids. I suppose they could get a tracking system, but...

  Dateline_NBC_Pedifile_Investigations Comment

  Our communities need a better system to keep these guys away from our innocent children of all ages. Really, not just the teenage boys and girls. It is all just a sad situation that will hopefully get better. At least, NBC is doing something about...

  Ebay_Scams Comment

  Your question made me think of those stupid "mystery gift cards". Does anyone know someone that has actually paid for a gift card that you don't know what is on it. That is just nuts to...

  My_spyware_bugs_me Comment

  Oh, a whitelist, I never knew anything about that. So when the spyware pops up not allowing you to continue, is that where you find a button for a white list. Or, do you have to go into the program and add it...

  13_Internet_enemies_in_2006 Comment

  That makes me think about some emails I have been receiving lately. They state that they are from another country, they list one, I just can't remember off the top of my head. And, they go on and on about a business opportunity they want to offer me. I...

  Hiding Cash Message

  I know so many people keep cash in places like their sock drawer. Besides a safe, I don't know where to keep money. I guess we should all find somewhere in our house to put cash that a robber wouldn't find it. I guess it is really just better to keep...

  Carbon Check Copies Message

  My bank has just started not putting the account #s on the carbon copies. I have a credit union account that still has the account # on the carbon copies. I have either put those in a safe or put them through the...

  County_court_house_death_certificates Comment

  I have heard of that happening. There are people that get ahold of kids under the age of 18, information. I suppose those people must be desperate. Most of these people I guess think they won't get...

  Have_you_hired_an_investigator Comment

  I would figure more business people hire investigators than for personal reasons. I luckily have never had a reason to hire an investigator. I suppose more people hire investigators in certain areas of the...

  30days_late_before_reporting_to_credit Comment

  Wow, I could believe a cellular company would do that, but I have never heard a landline company to do that. Are they reporting positive and negative credit or just negative....

  Easy_Checkout Comment

  I have not heard of this, but I guess it isn't such a bad idea. What happens if you have multiple credit cards though? I suppose they will have your credit card information on file then, is that good? I say...

  Ever_run_a_PC_without_Antivirus Comment

  Sometimes you may not know you have a virus. It could be that your computer will just start running a little slower than usual. Or, you could start getting a few error messages that aren't real alarming. The best rule of thumb is just to have...

  If_Security_Fails_You Comment

  I don't know if there is much you can do to prevent it. Just be as careful as possible. Many people leave checkbooks in their house in clear view for a robber. Keep the checkbooks and extra checks hidden. Be sure to hide all bank receipts and atm slips....

  What can I do to increase my credit score? Message

  I don't have bad credit, I just don't have much credit at all. I don't want to loan for a car or house. I just want to build credit. How can I get my credit built up without a huge purchase like...

  30days_late_before_reporting_to_credit Comment

  Is verizon a cell company or a landline phone company? I have never had a credit reporting from a utility even if I was past 30 days late. I don't do it all of the time, but sometimes when I get in a bind I go a little later than I like. I worked with...

  Orbitz_and_Caravan_Motel_Release_Credit_Card_Information Comment

  Good luck getting any help from Orbitz or anyone else. If you don't receive a call within minutes, you aren't going to get anywhere most of the time. I am sure the Orbitz representative will just think you will brush it under the rug....

  driver_license_and_social_security_number Comment

  My father in law seems to think that in the future everyone is going to have some kind of code within their bodies or on their bodies. I guess he is thinking like a chip under the skin or some kind of bar code. Something no one can steal. It is crazy...

  Underage Chat Message

  I had posted in another area about the Dateline Investigations and it made me think about the issue of underage chat moderation. Why isn't there a moderator that can see these conversations between teens and older men? All chat sites should have...

  Dateline NBC Pedifile Investigations Message

  I watch the Dateline investigations on pedifiles everytime there is a new one on tv. I can't believe some of these guys are still at it, even with this issue being highly telivised. It just shows, you never know who to trust. Some of these guys were...

  Spam in your real mailbox Message

  I have received a letter in my actual mailbox that is just like having it on my computer. It was for a pyramid scheme wanting me to send money to a list of people who would then add me to a list to send more money to. I gave the letter to the postmaster....

  Best_Virus_Killer_Software Comment

  We have Trend Micro Antivirus and it has worked perfectly for us thusfar. We bought it with a package from Best Buy. We brought our computer in about a year ago with numerous problems and they added this package for like 10.00. It included a few...

  Credit Card Calls Message

  In the area I live in, some elderly people have getting calls from "Government Assisstance" saying they are going to add 100.00 in assitance money to their credit card. Then the person on the other line takes the credit card info and charges 100.00 to...
