Complete Guide To E-Security: Using The Internet And E-Mail Without Losing Your Privacy

Want to take advantage of the latest technology without being taken advantage of? In this eye-opening guide, Michael Chesbro (Privacy for Sale) shows how the average American's personal and business e-mail can be read in more than a dozen places between the time it's sent and the time it's received, how marketers and other snoops can find out which Web sites you visit (not to mention such private information as your IP address, e-mail address, geological location, and the type of computer you're 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 remailer services to disguise the source and securely deleting or hiding files on your home computer to safeguard your private records from seizure.
