Google toolbar ?

[surfbug]

I just installed Google toolbar and I saw auto fill. I'll put my name, addressm City and zip code but Is any hacker find my name ECT...
or is it ok to fill them in the autofill ?


Thanks

As far as I know, the information stored in AutoFill resides only on your computer. Any hacker that can get to your hard drive can probably get your Autofill info. I use Autofill - but not for credit card info.

Can I use the free ZoneAlarm to block the hacker to get my infor from my hard driver?

I don't use ZoneAlarm - I use Norton Internet Security. But, I understand that ZoneAlarm identifies hackers, blocks e-mail worms, and has firewall rule fine-tuning.

Bob, keeping hackers out of your PC involves having a proper security strategy, of which a firewall like Zone Alarm is just a part (though an important part). You would be well advised to look at our SpywareDr forum, where we've posted many excellent articles and links to help people secure their PCs.
