Security and Privacy On Your Computer System

Here are two sites dealing with computer privacy and security.

The first is Spyware Resources. It provides information about spyware/adware and its implications for the user. It also gives advice on how to clear your system of unwanted spyware. Along with this information it has a number of links to anti-adware/spyware software applications and articles.

A P2P system is not one of the more secure. All you have to do to assure yourself of that is to take a look at some examples of things found posted in P2Ps around the country. Some of them have personal health and family information while others may contain spreadsheets and project proposals for use in hostile corporate takeovers. See What You Share on P2P will let you see just how weak security can be. All samples used have identifying statements and data blacked out for purposes of privacy.
