Online Privacy:
1. Encryption Technology
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is the industry standard. It’s designer/inventor is Phil Zimmerman (http://www.mit.edu/~prz/index.shtml) who was the subject of a three-year criminal investigation by the US government for exporting encryption technology to other countries which the government claimed was a violation of then-existing federal law. The government finally dropped its investigation in 1996. He was not indicted for any crime.
PGP is available both as freeware for individual non-commercial use as well as in its proprietary form. The freeware versions (http://www.pgp.com/products/freeware.html) have limited capabilities and are not integrated with any e-mail platforms such as MS Outlook or Outlook Express, etc.
AN introduction to cryptography can be found here:

or you can download it from this page:

PGP is widely regarded as the very best encryption software out there. Encryption is an absolute prerequisite if you want to keep your communication with others confidential and private. PGP encryption is strong enough that even the entire computing power existing world wide today, if focused entirely on decrypting one PGP encrypted message, will be unable to do so in any reasonable time frame. In short, it’s about as strong as it gets, but nothing is absolutely perfect, of course.
You can acquire personal or corporate proprietary encryption software from PGP corporation at

2. Browsing: (a) AnotherProxy.com - Surf The Web Anonymously! requires absolutely no extra software or programs to be installed. (b) You can buy software that allows you to browse the internet anonymously. Some of them use proxy servers that do not reveal your identity. They also block pop-ups, etc.. The down side: they slow down your web browsing and don’t easily let you designate sites from which you do want to accept cookies, etc. Examples of Anonymous browsing software are: The Steganos Internet Anonym 6: http://www.steganos.com/en/sia/ Anonymizer:Privacy Manager: http://www.anonymizer.com/privacymanager/1.0/29index.shtml For other online privacy resources, including shareware, check out this web site: http://shareware.golddownload.com/Internet/Online_Privacy/. The “East-Tec Eraser” is very helpful in making sure files you delete on your computer cannot be recovered by someone who steals your computer or hard drive.
3. Anti-Spyware Generally not worth the effort. “Spyware” can be any cookie that attaches itself to your computer when you browse. If you do online transactions, such programs would be a hinderance.
