I believe it is consumer beware out there and that is why there are so many programs for firewalls and security.

I suspect he is telling you a story on that one. yes they can get info, but it is very hard and if your running any anti virius at all it is unlikely. if you have a firewall then that is another hurdle. also online banking ect is 128bit encription, it is going to take a super computer a week to break that, so unless a group is specificly targiting you not to much to worry about there.
Shaw also has firewall, anti virius and e-mail filters you chose to use them or not. telus internet is slow unless you are close to where they have there main equipment, the farther away the slower it is. in outlining comunities it is almost painfull.
