if a website is really secure? I want to order something but I do not see the normal icons associated with a secure website. I do not want my private information to be floating to someplace it does not belong!

Another thing I thought was always associated with a secure website is that the url would start out with https (s for secure (not the normal http)). The site I was looking at does not have the https at least in the screen when you set up an account with them (which I have not yet done).

Thank you

I was interested in your question as well and I found THIS (http://info.ssl.com/article.aspx?id=10068) by googling. Hope it helps.
