Thread: East-Tec Eraser 2009

The internet is your window to the outside world and can be most addictive. Some people have their entire lives online, while some do business over it. With most websites today linked with banking, shopping or social networking it's natural that you give out personal information such as names, photographs, addresses, usernames, passwords, bank account numbers, credit card details and other important information about yourself. This information can be easily stolen and misused to a great extent.

Such incidents of identity theft are generally prone to areas such as cybercafes, offices and possibly at a "Not-so-Good" friend's computer. Personal information is usually stored in various places on a computer such as cookies and the browser history. This information if not wiped clean, can lead a hacker to create havoc in your life.

Most websites gain information about your surfing habits from cookies brought in from the website itself. These cookies also can contain Malware or Spywares that can infect your machine and also send important information from your computer to the respective website or hacker.
