Last night I'm sufing the web looking for show content and some how I ended up on a naughty website...funny how you put an innocent word in a search engine and you end up in the gutter.
The mili-second your computer goes online, you might as well throw out a welcome mat in front of your virtual door inviting a not-so-friendly-neighborhood hacker to come on in, at least that's what the authors of Internet Privacy for Dummies say.
Those authors -- John R. Levine, Ray Everett-Church and Gregg Stebben -- have come to the rescue jam-packed with info in the usual wacky-fun spirit of the Dummies series.
You'll ogle oodles of tips in an easy-to-read way such as there six things your ISP doesn't want you to know it knows:
Every Web site you've ever visited -- even the ones you mistakenly visited
Every e-mail and instant message you've ever sent and received and perhaps even written but then thought better of sending
Everything you've ever said in every chat session you've ever had
Everything you've ever bought over the Internet
Everything you've ever considered buying over the Internet
Possibly who and how much you have paid if you pay your bills online.
Catch your breath yet? As scary as it all seems, at least you'll be laughing all the way through the 351 pages.
