<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Auctionsniper Requires Your Informatiom
Auctionsniper requires your eBay user name and password. Some scams, known as "phishing," attempt to trick people into providing this information. Auctionsniper, certified by McAfee as secure and rated "safe" by Norton Safe Web, is not a scam. The software requires this information to log on to eBay and make a bid for you.
On the Other: Transmission of Information is Risky
Any time you enter information at a website or transmit it via the Internet, there is a risk. Some information is carried by insecure connections, which can be hacked. Trojan, spyware and backdoor programs can invade your computer. These programs can steal sensitive information from your computer or as you send it.
Bottom Line
Auctionsniper does not share eBay log-in information or use it other than at your direction. The site does provide security measures. If you take proper security precautions, such as using an antivirus program, firewall and programs to protect against malware, you can keep your information safe from most threats.
