Advice please

The general consensus is take your time and ask questions. I will back this up and reiterate it.

Also, something that was not mentioned, you can be tracked by your IP address. This can be done if you go to a site that a person actually owns, and from that he can get your physical address. If you do not believe this is possible, then go here. http://www.ip-adress.com/

There are programs that will block your IP address as you surf the web, but there are also programs to strip that blocking off. So, if you do try this, remember that you are vulnerable and be careful.

I just checked that service with my own current IP number (which I've had for about a month now). While it does offer an airview and even a map, and it does hit the right region, the pointer lands about a mile off my real location. I think what it actually picks up is the ISP's main network hub for that part of town. So that would be useless for any real attempt to find me or get my postal address

Actually, all this pulls up is the first part of your ISP to locate you, there are more sophisticated.

I tried this...and yes it hit the right country but was really way off to where I actually am by about 300 miles!!!!!!!!!!

It doesnt show where I live either. It is about 30 kilometers off from where I live. Quite interresting though and yes it can be abused.
Listen to Tasker cause his advice is the best so far imo.
