| The Internet is becoming a very scary place.
Each time you log on, you have no idea who is
watching what you do and where you go! Spyware
is everywhere! Once accepted into your computer,
it can send out information about what sites you
visit, how long you spend on each page you look
at, complete information about the specifications
of the computer you are using, even what site
you go to after leaving the present one. Some
Spyware is capable of recording personal information
about yourself, including banking info, where
you have accounts, the number of the account;
even what the CD keys are for the software installed
on your computer. No one is safe, and you must
be extremely vigilant in protecting yourself from
this violation of your privacy! We constantly remind our customers of these dangers. Do not download any software unless you are absolutely certain of it's source. The most innocent of programs can hide "malware". (That's malicious software!) And most anti-virus/ad-blocker/spyware programs will not pick them up. Essentially what happens is this; you install some type of software that seems harmless enough, that gets it past your regular protection. The first time you go on-line after installing, it upgrades itself, with or without your knowledge. Sometimes they will even tell you an upgrade is available and ask if you want to do the upgrade, and, of course, it's only natural to want that latest version of any software, particularly if it's free. It then installs the malicious code to collect information about you, and your machine. Do yourself a big favor, get a good anti-virus program and keep it up to date. (Be aware that these programs require a subscription after the first year of usage. This fee is usually around $20 per year. This fee pays for availability to the latest virus definitions and updates for your software.) If the program you select does not have ad-blocker capability, get a good ad-blocker/spyware program as well. Keep your machine protected behind a firewall that you can manually set the Internet access permissions for software installed on your machine. The moment you get off line, run a scan of your system. No software is perfect. They may not keep them out at first, but they can remove them before any damage can be done. Do not allow any program internet access unless you are certain about what it is going to do when permission is granted. That having been said, we need to speak about the information we collect within this website. At CMUSA, we do not place any "cookies" or other tracking software upon your computer. Where you go, and what you look at, on our website is your business. The personal information we collect about customers through forms within this website is used for order fulfillment, billing, and shipping purposes only. Under no circumstances do we buy, sell, trade,
or give away any customer information to any
outside parties. |
