I forgot one important thing, NEVER CLICK ON LINKS SENT TO YOU, unless your 100% positive that the address they are coming from is not compromised. You can alwasy right click and have your AV check the URL, or put the URL into a search engine to see if it is good, or spoofed.
The credit cards, my bank and my ISP have all had their addresses and pages spoofed. So I never go to an address sent to me in an e-mail unless I am expecting it, and instead will out the address into the search engine and see if it comes up with where it says I should go. The spoofed addresses do not take you to where your saved book marked sites go. My feeling is if you can make it secure and then sell that program, If it is encrypted, it can be hacked.... hackers can get past it. Otherwise we'd not need anti viruses and firewalls. So I don't store anything sensitive like passwords on my computer, it's much simpler and can't be hacked.
