If your like a lot of people I know you have heard a lot about internet privacy, the risks and so on. You have "heard" of cookies, logging, stalkers and information gathering but it all sounded to far away or just not relevant. The book tells it how it is in plain english what the risks are how it works and what can be done or in some cases what can't be done about it. I bought this book for my parents and read it before giving it to them. I am a programmer so I know a lot of this stuff already and though the book was a little light for me I found that even I felt more comfortable after reading it. I would recommend this book to anyone who uses the internet.

We live in a world where computers and the internet are constantly becoming more and more important to our daily lives. With email flying around, ecommerce sites requiring credit card numbers, and chat rooms open for anybody's perusal, it is easy to find information on just about anybody. That makes me feel uncomfortable, and it should make EVERYBODY who uses the internet feel uncomfortable.

Reading this book put some of my fears to rest, heightened my awareness of the information available to others, and even made me chuckle. This book has a considerable amount of information, which pushed my expertise up a few levels, and provided for a quick read.

I recommend this book to anybody who desires to learn more about the intense subject of internet privacy.

This is an affordable, compact guide. It is essential, especially if you are new to the internet, and need a thorough lowdown on how to protect yourself, whether you are sending an email, downloading a file, or just surfing the net. I recommend this handy little book in anyone's laptop case, or desk top. Personally I've been stuffing stockings with them!
