[QUOTE="Brett Reilly, post: 1909031, member: 136154"] I am responding to this 6 month old question more to readers wondering the same thing reading this now than to the person originally posted this: Nonetheless, it's a very good question. Credit card info safety: Sites that use a reputable third party billing service (CCBill, Epoch, etc) you will have the most safety and least risk of theft. Services such as these have 24 hour customer service phone numbers and emails and you will get a resolution to your billing problems very quickly; what few problems I had were rectified by phone within 5 minutes tops at any given time of the day or night, which includes hold time. I would stay away from billing services or sites that use "billing services" that appear amateur; it is an invitation to trouble. Fortunately I only got burned once and learned from it. Rule of thumb: if you have to cancel your subscription by email, you are taking a big risk. Viruses and spyware: Most sites worth their salt won't infect your computer with viruses and software, they're in business to make money and won't do anything stupid to jeopardize making more money. Believe it or not, it's the heavily advertised "free" sites that you are at the highest risk of getting a nasty computer virus or other infection. Personally, the one site I know of that IMHO is the biggest virus trap isn't even a porn site at all, though it is a video-heavy site. [/QUOTE]
