This is the World Wide Web. If someone wanted your information bad enough, they wouldn't need your user name and the goggle search. I use a laptop and have my own home network (wireless router). Sometimes, I can use my neighbors wireless service, and I am just somewhat computer savy. I know people that know how to break in to someone else's computer and plant and copy files. Imagine what someone can do if they really knew what they were doing...? It surprises me that people are so unaware of how much of their personal information is out there. If you are on the internet, you take the chance of sharing all your personal information with the world unless you take SERIOUS precautions to protect yourself. AOL Firewall is just not enough. I have typed in my daughter's and her friends screen names and pieced together the schools they go to, the after school activities they attend and so much information that it scared them silly...
