If you have a paid account such as AOL or NetZero yes, its rather easy. If you have a cable modem or DSL that you never turn off then its possible although very difficult. If you have a dial-up or turn off your cable modem and have a free account it is completely untraceable. I myself have created this yahoo account from prison and made up that I am named Pooptanic and live in India. Nobody knows. ; )

Yes.. I just watched CNSBC on a huge report for "Big BrotherWatches". And basically your internet activity is almost a blueprint for your personality and fingerprint to find you and all personal information.. it's kinda shaky to say maybe set-up a 'dummy' email account.. may help..
Good Luck!

Yes. You don't need to be a computer wiz, you just need to know what to do, but it does help to be a computer wiz.
