 Surfing the Net is always both fun and educational. Email is for many people the best way to stay in touch with their friends, their family or coworkers, Chat groups and discussion groups allow you to communicate with people with the same preferences or tastes. Everybody knows Internet's benefits, but not everyone is aware of its powerful threats on personal privacy.
 Many web sites use special procedures to collect personal information about their users and some are just more obvious about it. These procedures could be like asking for personal information before granting your access. The user is asked for his full name, age, address, telephone number, and even questions about his personal preferences.
Other Web sites collect information in more subtle ways. They place one or more "cookies" on the hard drive of your computer. "Cookies" are small files of text that can collect and store a large variety of data on your computer. They can offer details on the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer or how many times you have visited the site or your preferences, such as a preferred language. Also useful information can be provided about your user name and password, items in your "shopping cart", web sites you've visited, any information such as your name and any unique alphanumeric character string that can be linked to your personal information.
All this huge amount of information is used to create a profile of you. This profile may be forwarded to an advertiser who selects advertisements to pop up on your screen that appeal specifically to you. Advertisers may also use this information to send email ads for products and services they think you might like. In this way, the collected information can be easily shared and abused in countless ways. The stories about hackers gaining access to supposedly secure web sites and obtaining credit card numbers and other personal information suggest that there are few web sites completely secure. Poor information handling and weak security practices will always cause high risks to your privacy by allowing unauthorized access.
Obviously, the best way to protect your privacy and your personal information is by never giving it to any web site. But this is not always possible. Main advantages of Internet are to use it for shopping, obtaining services and getting information. And these activities may require the use of personal information.
The other solution is to use high quality security software. It has to be solid, frequently updated and easy to use. Simple procedures and step by step instructions will be really helpful for the user. There are a lot of software security programs that aim this status.
