Bob:
That is interesting, I had not thought that deeply about it before. I use PMMail so email is not a
problem, although I sometimes will use my ISP's provided web mail, again I don't see a problem
there either.
I suppose I can block the MS sharing & messaging ports and go from there. I can also check GRC.com
next time I'm on the road to see how 'invisible' I am.
What do you think about connecting via https: to financial sites since all data is encrypted?
Thanks for all the good info and food for thought.
