Does Google have you?

Try entering your phone number into Google and see what they know.
My house number: Dad's name, city and area code
Girlfriends number: Both her parents names and her city and area code
Friends number: full address

What does Google know about you?

Your personal privacy freedoms should be carefully looked at and considered.

Patriot act?

Big brother watches you always.

I do think "their" fairly considerate about it though. But if it comes to cash, you better believe they have your number. That's how you got on that list.

Protect yourself.

Turn cookies off. Have a firewall or two. Run a spyware checker at least once a month. Format at least once a year. Don't submit to e-mail lists.

If you do all of the above, you won't need anti-virus. But better safe than sorry.

It makes the internet less fun, but you are easily tracked, by every keystroke.

There's plenty more, just take precaution.
