Mozy doesn't provide protection against data theft, so the video ("I get all your files") is irrelevant. I’m with Nate on this.

I don't store credit card numbers on my computer. If I did, I'd just call the CC company and get new numbers. Same with bank accounts. I don't store passwords. If I did, I'd just change those as well. The most anybody would get would be contacts' e-mail addresses and maybe some phone numbers. Big whoop! If anything, I'd probably be more embarrassed about having a couple porn videos on my hard drive, which reminds me I better delete that before my wife finds it.

Since my stuff is backed up I would have no problem selling the laptop, but I'd want to format the drive first. I have no problem losing the local information, I have a big problem with someone else having it. Back when I worked tech support back in college many students didn't seem to care if we had to reinstall their OS and they lost everything which amazed me. But I think if I told them I was going to run off with all their personal information it would be a different story. What do you fear more, coming home and finding your hard drive died or identity theft, not only getting credit cards in your name and possible gaining access to your open accounts, but also being able to learn enough about you to go after friends and family?

Then again, Mozy's my wingman! To be honest, I’d probably let her have my laptop for her ‘phone number and a latte. Then again, Mozy’s my wingman!

Now it's a diminished version of its former glory. I can no longer print; I can't access my passwords and software registrations because the file they were on will not open; and my iDisk can't be accessed. All of this happened as soon as I installed MozyHome. It took six emails to get someone to tell me how to uninstall MozyHome, because, of course, the uninstaller doesn't work. Before I realized all this, I backed up my desktop, which took over four days, during which time I could not use my computer at all, or the backed up data would be lost. I've repeatedly asked your staff for assistance with restoring the ability to print and with accessing the software and iDisk that no longer work, but have received NO help. Shame on your flagrant disregard for your customers. I too think my laptop is priceless — or it was before I downloaded MozyHome. Now it’s a diminished version of its former glory.
