Stories of identity theft are scary to say the least. They are increasing in both quantity and spread. Anyone is susceptible. With the rise of technology comes convenience, but it also makes it convenient for criminals to do their deeds in some cases.

I'm writing a series at www.technichick.com on how to protect yourself online. I am very active in many online communities. If you enjoy meeting people or shopping or researching online, you need to take certain precautions just as you would in the real world. 

In the real world, there are places with bad reputations, and you simply don't go there after dark. Take this common sense into cyberspace. There are 'dark' places online, and they are obvious. If it doesn't "feel" right, pay attention. If there are links to porn sites or torrents or "you've just won ...", be on your guard. Some sites gather more info than you think you're giving and place spyware and cookies on your pc to track your online activities. Usually they just want to sell you something, but sometimes it's more devious than that. And you need to be aware while online.

Also, if it sounds too good to be true ... and you know the rest. Folks, no one is giving away a free Nintendo Wii for just a few questions answered. They want your information, and it starts with just your email. Now, I've actually "earned" a Playstation 2 from one of these sites, and I'll share my story in more detail at technichick.com. But beware, you should use a designated spam email address because you're gonna get it!

Now I'm not into fear. We just don't let it run our lives, but that's no reason to ignore common sense and good advice. Then there are times when those things aren't enough. For instance, they can't replace a good Anti-Virus program. :-)

Now you can have a sort of "anti-virus" program for your life! I highly recommend Zurvita Protection. Zurvita Protection Plan offers a combination of services specifically designed to protect you and your family against today's most common legal, personal and financial issues. This program provides you access to a nationwide network of over 20,000 attorneys and pre-qualified professionals who specialized in their areas of expertise: The program consists of the following benefits and services:
