safety and security (online purchasing)
Tuesday, December 2, 2008 by BluesBrother | Discussion: WindowBlinds
iam not in habit of purchasing anything online. one exception was upgrading my anti-virus. iam wondering if WB uses something similair to an SSL certificate.? i read about online hacking and such. and i really, truly love WB..and must be reassured that purchasing WB, the transaction would be secured.

Yup, it's secure. Why not talk to someone at Stardock sales: 1-888-STARDOCK.

look at the url for the site first. you'll notice the actual site stardock uses for purchasing apps starts with "https". the "s" lets you know it's a secure site. if i see the "https" when buying merchandsise online, i feel safe since i'll know it's secure.

That is a very good question to ask and you should always be concerned about any online purchasing. I haven't brought anytihing in a while from here but it seems to me that like most sites that you buy from there is a statement or link to another page that talks about your concerns when you are completing a purchase.
You can always send an email to [email protected] and ask them directly.
