Your privacy is always in danger - without you noticing it:
If you share your computer with others or use a laptop. If pest programs record your credit card number. If confidential data is stored on your hard disk. If your PC needs to be repaired or sold and you want to clear the hard disk first. If you use a USB stick or CDs for data transport you privacy is at stake.
You are leaving traces on the Internet and offline The acquisitiveness of today's programs knows no bounds. Windows XP also sends data to Microsoft. Spyware is installed unnoticed and secretly transmits your address and account information.
