WASHINGTON -- As identity theft has grown, so has fear of being victimized through high-tech means.

Nearly a third of Internet users are cutting back on time spent surfing the Internet and a quarter say they have stopped buying online altogether, according to a study from Consumer Reports WebWatch.

Some 80 percent of Internet users say they're at least somewhat concerned someone could steal their identity from personal information on the Internet. Fifty-three percent of Internet users say they've stopped giving out personal information on the Web.

Among those who shop online, 54 percent say they're now more likely to read a site's privacy policy or user agreement before buying and 29 percent have cut back on how often they buy online.

The random telephone-based survey of 1,501 Internet users aged 18 and older was conducted May 19 to June 21. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Still don't buy it. It's the new heroin. They may, however, shop at only more reputable sites.

unless we can somehow get those who install shit on users computers out of the game this will just be a continuing trend. i won't even look for lyrics anymore because i always get installs forced down my throat at those sites.

report phish emails
create a blacklist of sponsors who install shit
what else can be done?
