Mmmm, Bye Bye Kaspersky

This response is somewhat tardy I suppose.

One of my concerns about not being able to use the web anonymously
is that my personal information and details, could possibly be intercepted
by a third party, during any process of registration at wherever and may possibly lead to an instance of identity theft.

I know that there are a lot of smart cyber-criminals around, who dedicate a lot of time and resources
towards gathering peoples personal details and they probably make a profit from it.

Personally, I am not that knowledgeable about all of the various types of codes that are used in creating web facing applications nowadays and
therefore have to depend upon proxy servers and VPN's etc, as well as certain browser add-ons
to give me that degree of protection, that I feel is necessary for me anyway,
just as a measure of self-protection from the legions out there in the void who are not so nice.

The web has been described by some as being something like a
frontier town, in the American West, about 150 years ago or something
like that and I don't think that anybody can deny that it certainly has a wild and extreme side.

I can see how criminals may benefit from being able to use the web anonymously,
but I can also see that it can also benefit people who may not be criminals, that want to use anonymity, as a tool for avoiding
those types that want to explot them.
