1. The First Rule is that you are the best anti-fraud and identity theft system you can buy. An educated user is far more effective than any software.

2. Don't give out your real name and other particulars unless absolutely necessary. Use fake information instead.

3. Avoid registering to too many newsletters. Though they're fun to read, often the company also keeps your email addresses for certain purposes, some more sinister than others. And the user has no control and no say should said company decide to sell off your information to another company.

4. Use Anti-spyware programs like Adaware, Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG Anti-spyware, CWShredder, Bazooka, SpywareBlaster, etc.

5. Make sure you have a good anti-virus program or if you can't afford a commercial one, at least get a free program like AVG. And make sure your anti-virus program is up-to-date and scan your computer constantly.

6. Stay away from many pornography and illegal sites. Often, such sites require you to download a dialer or some other form of executable program(a ".exe") which often installs a trojan or some other virus that gathers your confidential information and delivers it back to the hacker/company.

What will be size of Encyclopedia , if it is made from Wikipedia.org ?

Recently Wikipedia completed 10 years, giving us free Information about all everything serving as online Encyclopedia.

Do you ever thought that If Encyclopedia is made from Wikipedia site, What will be its Size?

Lets Check the number of pages of that Book

- Today Wikipedia has information of over 1.74 billion words in database.

- A word document page holds approx. 500 words (single spaced).

- So divide 1.74 billion by 500 words you get 3.48 million pages....

- If you make a book out of computer/ printer paper then the book would be 1370078.740 inches==21.6 miles thick and 8.5" x 11" in length and height.

(that's very very big)
