"Most people lock their doors and windows, use a paper shredder
to protect themselves from identity theft, and install antivirus
software on their computers. Yet they routinely surf the Internet

from--or introduce spyware to -- your computer. Even worse,
sometimes all you have to do is randomly click on a site to have
your data probed in a most unwelcome way.

and security extensions you can add as well..."
