Why is our web site 100% secure?
Netscape and Microsoft browsers allow for information coming into and going out of your computer over the Internet to be encrypted, so if this data is intercepted it will be illegible.

To indicate a secure page, both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer show a closed lock at the bottom of the page.
