[QUOTE="SomeCallMeMom, post: 2613478, member: 32209"] I happened to read an article on Internet security a couple weeks ago & it got me thinking. Basically, the article said you have two ways of combatting it...Either stop using the internet entirely or flood the internet with misinformation. I typed my name in a couple of search engines & was surprised what popped up. Pictures, addresses, phone numbers & all sorts of information. I decided I didn't like all that information out there, so I started working on locking it down. I had to go to each individual site and request that my information not be shown. I even closed down a couple accounts that I had forgotten I even had. Now, typing my e-mail address, phone number or name doesn't give any results. It was something I had never really given any thought to before, so I thought I would pass it along. Now, I'll check them regularly to make sure I don't pop up again. [/QUOTE]
