Online Security

Hey my name is Wendy Appollos and im taking this class because my guidance counselor thought it would be suitable to take if im going to school for business.
I love using computers when it comes to using myspace and shopping but in the back of my mind i always wondered how safe it was to use.

Almost everywhere you go on the web you can buy or purchase it. It has come to the point were the web can keep you from leaving your house from doing everyday things, like grocery shopping or buying clothes, even paying your bills. If you have a credit card you have it all in todays society. But really how secure is it for you to put your information on the world wide web?
