Can people track your personal info off of the internet?

just wondering. lol. :)

Yes, if you give it to him. However, giving it to them does not simply mean "Here, take my address." On the internet, it's a lot more complicated.

Here are a few ways your personal information may be at risk of being distributed or taken:

1. Entering your email, name, phone number, address or anything else considered personal information into a website that you don't trust. These websites include
-Advertisements
-CLICK HERE TO WIN or... FREE RINGTONES sites
-Forums
-suspicious sign-in forms
2. Your IP address may be found and tracked depending on how you go about your business on the Internet. Some people may be able to find it if you post a messege on a forum. Some people can find it and other stuff if you download adware, or programs containing trojans or viruses.
Your best bet against these are
-AVAST! Anti-Spyware (Free, safe to download)

-Spybot Search and Destroy (Free, safe to download)

3. Sharing your computer with other people may also be a risk, but if you trust them enough to let them use your computer then I doubt they would knowingly spread your information.

4*. Another good way to keep "safe" is to use a static IP address, or a proxy. That's a whole different story, but you'll find info on Google.


Just be careful what you do if you want to keep your info private and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Good luck

Some things yes. Any personal data you enter into data fields on a website can be tracked or monitored with the right software.

if there's a will, there's a way

There are many sites that provide a search of all public records. For $ 50 you can get a lot of background on someone, arrest records, social security numbers, credit reports, traffic fines, utilities and addresses going back several years, their neighbors, their relatives. Virtually everything that has been recorded is available.

Possible if your computer isn't protected
