I have a Big Problem. I share my home computer with someone. He has a Hotmail account, as do I, and I also have a Yahoo account. Today I discovered that in my browser's temporary files I could pull up some of his emails! I did not see any Yahoo email, but quite a few from Hotmail. How do I correct this? Such a possible invasion of privacy!

just activate your spy ware and firewall always, and just keep them updated

But it points out an aspect of security that most people miss completely. We can take some steps to make things better, but actually solving the root problem is a much bigger deal..is the firewall the solving? i dont think so, but thanx i`ll try :-)
