I hope it's alright to post this link here. A friend of mine emailed me this link a few weeks ago. When I read the article, my stomached turn. It is very unnerving to say the least.......

Hi Belle,

That link is not a problem.

I didn't read the whole article... but didn't need to... yep there is a lot of stuff out there that can track down what you do.

My DH simply downloaded a programe that cracked my ICQ password... and whammo!! there was everything he needed. Despite still using the net... I'm aware of what can be done and try... might add try... to be careful. Nothing is ever fullproof. Althought I don't think I give him anything to be suspicious about anymore to warrant him checking up on me.

You can also download a programe that can detect the spy programe... but I have never done this for fear of DH wanting to know what I've downloaded and what I want it for... that would make him suspicious.

That's interesting. I didn't know that there was a program to detect if a spouse has been cheating on his significant other via the internet. I don't talk to my MM through the internet so that's no problem.

Yesh, its scary. But you know what there are wackos out there who will hack into your computer and steal your identity. It happened to me, ya know. My online ids were stolen by somebody and registered under theirs some time back. Weird....
