New Privacy Service Protects You Online

(PRWEB) April 20, 2004

After studying the Web and learning how surfers use it and many

Web sites abuse it, a free service has been launched to help

protect the privacy of Internet users from identity theft and

Web site abuses.

“We looked at a lot of issues before we started MisterPrivacy.com,”

says Craig Elder President of the Company. “There’s way too much

personal information being stolen on the Web these days, and most

of it comes directly from Web surfers without their knowledge or

consent.”

In today’s wired world you have to be very careful to protect the

data stored on your computer. Most do this by purchasing a quality

antivirus and firewall package. But what security steps have you

taken to protect yourself?

Information thieves can easily wreak havoc on your credit report

by stealing your identity for only one week. Your home address,

email, phone number, name, and age are gold nuggets to a hacker

looking for some Saturday night fun. But what about the really

personal folders on your computer that contain your tax return and

investment portfolio? Would you want an intruder to have direct,

unauthorized access to these folders when you visit their Web

site?

If there’s any doubt about the secrets you reveal while online,

MisterPrivacy.com provides an online leak detector that reveals

in real time what you could be giving strangers access to when you

visit their Web site. “Our leak detector is just a simple

JavaScript program which shows the visitor the secrets easily

gathered from them online with little effort. But our program only

reports its findings to the visitor, the really scary programs

have a much more malicious intent,” says Elder.

Anonymous Web browsing isn’t new, but it has come of age with the

increasing amounts of malicious programs being written and new

ones ready to make their debut. With just a few simple lines of

computer code on a Web site a vandal can hunt you down and exploit

you from thousands of miles away, or from down the street. And with

virus writers looking for more and more creative ways to turn your

computer against you, it makes sense to use every proven protection

available.

“It’s just normal to want to feel safe while surfing the Web. I know

I don’t want to leave footprints everywhere I go, or worse, have the

contents of my hard drive accessed by strangers. I pay monthly fee to

access the Web, not for the Web to access me,” says Elder.

Currently, MisterPrivacy.com’s anonymous surfing service is completely

free and does not require any special software or operating system

support. Their Surfbar gives you total control over the amount of

privacy you are comfortable with, and it keeps your IP address private,

blocks popups, banners, cookies, malicious scripts, spyware, and

referrers. A second service is planned for later this year and will

include 128-bit encryption for maximum protection online.
