I never put my real birthdate or any other personal info to enter a site. Is that being overly paranoid?

Not in my opinion, with all the computer techies out there, I feel any personal information can be confiscated. If gov`t files can be broken into, then I`m sure my personal data can also be illegally obtained. In fact, my nephew seeking his step-sister, easily found not only her address but her phone number, just by typing in her name. Same holds true for credit card #`s, unless the site is secure and with a well know company, I hesitate going that route to purchase from the internet.

No AND I wish I've never ENTERED MY REAL BIRTHDATE AND OTHER PERSONAL INFO -either! (Nothing Bad happened Yet --but weird Stuff is going On --on my computer tonite; I think I'm being hacked or either it might be SpyWare or AdWare! --i don't know the exact difference; I cannot afford Virus protection; mine's --tonite--has been crashing and doin different problems (freezing up), etc. etc. / best wishes!
(I won't give anyone my real name nor phone no. --on Chat sites; and I won't give them (on chat lines)--my email address Either; I'm fairly certain that certain persons can Obtain Your/ My, and others' Real addresses -from Our email address!! Be careful!
Best wishes and have fun! (I've recently started reading some books Online!! That's fascinating! and I've been looking up All types of different information - on Wikipedia (and their sister sites); it's all certainly Amazing!
