 Model Railroading Date: 02/02/05 13:26 SECURITY ALERT: Spyware notice for Trainorders.com members Author: webmaster What is spyware? It is software that is installed on your computer with or without your knowledge by web sites. Spyware is very serious as it can crash your computer or take control of it. It can also reveal private information about you to criminals. Q. What does this have to do with Trainorders.com? A. When you follow a link to a web site off of Trainorders.com there is a possibility that you may be infected by spyware. During the past month we have found links to two sites off of Trainorders.com that were infected with Spyware. Q. Can I get spyware from Trainorders.com? A. No, you cannot receive spyware from Trainorders.com. Our web site is free from spyware and our software prevents it from being added to our discussion forums. We have gone to great lengths to protect our users. Q. How can I keep from getting infected? A. Only visit web sites that you trust. Some free web sites support themselves by installing spyware on your computer. Be vigilant when visiting these sites by looking for icons that appear on your desktop or erratic computer behavior. Use spyware resistant web browsers like Firefox. It is free and very reliable: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox There are several products on the market that can purge these evil programs from your computer. Q. Why do you warn me before I follow a web site link off Trainorders.com? A. We want to be sure our visitors are aware that they are about to leave our site and that there is a possibility, though remote that they may be exposed to spyware on another web site. We do not have the ability to verify that external links posted to Trainorders.com are free from spyware. Therefore, we provide warning when you follow an offsite link. In closing I want to express that at Trainorders.com we work hard to ensure the security of our members while browsing our web site. Our programming and support team is committed towards keeping our online environment a safe and inviting place to visit. Todd Clark Trainorders.com Founder & Webmaster
