Internet and Computer Safety (provided by The National Network to End Domestic Violence)
Computers create records in hundreds of ways of everything you do on the computer and internet.
If you are in danger, please try to use a safer computer where someone abusive does not have direct access, or even remote (hacking) access.
It might be safer to use a computer at a public library, at a community technology center, at a trusted friend’s house, or even at an internet café.
If you think your activities are being monitored, you are probably right. Abusive people are often controlling and want to know your every move. You don’t need at be a computer programmer or have special skills to monitor someone’s computer activities-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 clear all computer “footprints”.
If you think you may be monitored on your home computer, you might consider no home internet use or safer intern “surfing”. Example: If you are planning to flee to California, don’t look at classified ads for jobs and apartments, or bus tickets to 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.
