- There are hundreds of ways that computers record everything you do on the computer and on the Internet.
- If you are in danger, please try to use a safer computer that someone abusive does not have direct access
or even remote (hacking) access to.
- It might be safer to use a computer in a public library, at a community technology center (CTC)
www.ctcnet.org (national directory),
at a friend's house, or an Internet Cafe.
- If you think your activities are being monitored, they probably are. Abusive people are often
controlling and want to know your every move. You don't need to be a computer programmer or have
special skill to monitor someone's computer activity - anyone can do it and there are many ways
to monitor
- Computers can provide a lot of information about what you look at on the Internet, the emails you
send, and other activities. It is not possible to delete or clear all computer "footprints".
- If you think you may be monitored on your home computer, you might consider no home Internet
use or "safer" Internet surfing. Example: If you are planning to flee to California, don't look at classified
ads for jobs and apartments, bus tickets, ect for California on a home computer or any computer
an abuser has physical or remote access to. Use a safer computer to research an escape plan.
