All information you enter via the web can be intercepted
not true; consider ssl v2 and above, tls, . . .
Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your desktop (icons)
not mine, has never happened
Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your internet favorites
not mine, has never happened
Your browsing activity can be tracked and monitored
depends on how and what one does
Unwanted toolbars and searchbars can attach themselves to your browser
without your knowledge or approval
not mine, has never happened
Your personal information can be sold to other parties without your
knowledge or consent
depends on how and what one does, but certainly there are those
that, given they have the info, will try to make money off of it
Your default homepage and settings can be hijacked so you can't change
them
not mine, has never happened
These malicious components not only invade your PC so they can not be
removed, but take up your hard drive space and slow down your PC!
not mine, has never happened
Practice safe computer usage and you do not need much else.
