    There is no way to be ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE your information is safe on the Internet. The only way to be 100% sure your info is safe: pay cash in person.

    WEP is a security protocol for 802.11 wireless networks and it was designed to keep a wireless network secure. WEP has flaws and it isn't bullet proof. It will help protect your data if you set it correctly and use the highest encryption that your equipment can support. Changing your encryption key from time to time will make it harder.

    Making an online purchase is another story. You should only make online payments to websites that you trust. For more details, see the following link.

    Should you trust that online store?
