I'm trying to prevent my browser (Moz 1.4) from sending out my email address as an anonymous FTP password. Now in Netscape, I go to Edit/Preferences/Advanced and UNcheck the box that says "send email address as anonymous FTP password"
Whenn I try to do this in Mozilla 1.4, I have an option I've never seen before, and that is the option to check a box that says "send *THIS* email address as anonymous FTP password" (emphasis added) and then there is a place to actually write in something, presumably an email address. My question is: Will putting in something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or any fake email address) actually stop the distribution of my real email addy and will it stop the spam I get from all these websites that are picking up my information from the browser as I surf? Will it at least slow it down some? I cannot afford to purchase a Proxy connection to hide the information in a surefire way, so I am scrounging for ways to get around the problem by getting rid of Internet Explorer and using better browser(s) that'll protect me more. Thanks in advance, The ghost
