• a network communication interface configured for communicating with the Internet;
• a processor operatively coupled to the network communication interface and a memory, the memory storing computer-executable program code that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the steps of:
• periodically searching user-defined data stored in the memory based on a user-defined schedule,
• identifying non-public information stored in the memory by comparing the data to one or more non-public information identifying rules stored in the memory, wherein the non-public information includes one or more of a credit or debit card number, a credit or debit account number, or a social security number, and
• in response to identifying non-public information, communicating on the display (1) identification of the non-public information, (2) a memory location of the non-public information, and (3) a query comprising a request to the user whether the non-public information should be deleted from the memory, and
• receiving a user input wherein the user input comprises a request to delete the non-public information from the memory;
• in response to accessing a network, determining a network location of the computer based on the Internet Protocol (IP address);
• determining whether the network location is a known location by comparing the network location to an internally stored listing of previously accessed and authorized network locations to determine if a match exists between the network location and an entry in the listing;
• and
• sending an electronic communication to one of a telephone number or an electronic mail address associated with the user, if it is determined that the network location does not match an entry in the listing, the electronic communication comprises a notification to the user that the processor has accessed the network from a previously unknown network location.
