If you or some one you know is in immediate danger, please call 911 now.

Please remember that computers are not always safe.  If you are in danger, please try to use a safer computer that someone abusive does not have direct or remote (hacking) access to.

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 skills to monitor someone's computer and Internet activities - anyone can do it and there are many ways to monitor with programs like Spyware, keystroke loggers and hacking tools.
