If you are running a wireless network at home you might want ot make sure you have your router set for either WEP of WPA security otherwise you are boradcasting info to everybody regardless of whether or not you have a firewall.

HMMMM let's see oh he must have relatives over there, ummm i dont think so, some people just have no common sense!!
they didn't try to charge you a restocking fee?
sorry, but it's the cynic in me. you'd think the business would be a bit more helpful, especially if they were on the up and up.

the lady said that she lost the $32.00 shipping fee, like i really care about that, i lost a lot more than you guys. you guys should be a little more careful with your charge accounts, and look them over a little better. my bank gave me back the 32.00 shipping fee though. i checked my account and i have just rec'd back all my money!! Finally, but i have to write check for awhile now though, I HATE THAT, i dont have any credit/debit cards, its just that checks take a few days to clear, plus you have to write them out, that blows. but ill get over it

Check out the story about Mastercard, and how they got a virus, and exposed a lot of Credit card numbers, watch your mastercard close if you have one:

The guys are right, get a low limit "internet" card and use that for all online transactions. If something like this goes down with a credit card, Visa can afford much better lawyers than any of us can.
