I have no patience for or interest in computer stuff, but my companion is a degreed IT professional, extremely knowledgeable. He laughs at the very notion of computer security. If you think you are secure, you are living an illusion. Just assume that everything you do on a computer is an open book or a potential open book, and you'll be just fine.
