I don't know if it found out any information on your computer. If you use IE to save
passwords then possibly. I do not let my Computer/browser store any important logon
names or passwords. If in doubt, immediately go to swiftpay.com via normal logon and
change logon/password information and then look at account activity, reporting any
fraudulent use immediately. Never follow links from emails, always go the website via
normal channels and when there verify the address bar information [for instance Ebay
will show Ebay.com at the right most period in the address bar between Ebay and com]
and also the site certificate that you can view by clicking on the little padlock in
the lower right hand corner which would also indicate a ssl secure channel which
would also show https in the address bar instead of http. --- Steve
