Synopsis

Want to take advantage of the latest technology without being taken advantage of? In this eye-opening guide, Michael Chesbro shows how the average American's personal and business e-mail can be read in more than a dozen places between the time it is sent and the time it is received, how marketers and other snoops can find out which websites you visit (not to mention such private information as your IP address, e-mail address, geological location, and the type of computer you are using), and how the government is working toward limiting your right to use encryption. Chesbro then tells you everything you need to know about safely and anonymously surfing the Internet, setting-up encrypted e-mail easily, creating an uncrackable password, understanding unbreakable encryption programs such as PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), sending e-mail through re-mailer services to disguise the source and securely deleting or hiding files on your home computer to safeguard your private records from seizure.
