It depends on the network.Different networks employ different algorithms.
So keep shopping on very popular sites.

whenever you do these actions, make sure that the address bar (the white lined box at the top of the browser with "http://.... (ETC.) has "HTTPS://"..... this 'S' tells you it is secured by encryption between your comp. and the destination comp. it does not however, tell you how secure, or safe the company you deal with is. somewhere along the line, ya just have to trust somebody.

hi, use a more secure browser to keep your pc free of virus.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

If you are dealing with a reputable site the information is encrypted while in transit.
