There is a wealth of mortgages and personal loans information on the Internet, including many helpful mortgage and loans calculators. But before you start clicking with abandon, you should know that there are some less-than-reputable mortgage sites on the Web. Beware of sites that require you to sign up or apply online to use their tools, unless you are quite sure of the reputation of the site owner. Never give out personally identifying information, such as your Social Security number. The same holds true for downloading software: Some programs may come with spyware or adware attached, both of which can harm your computer and jeopardize your valuable personal information.
