Fuel to the fire?

I've started using something called Freedom. One feature (I don't often use) is called Keyword Alert. I've been playing with it the last few days. It's more for controlling what type information leaves your computer than security alerts... for example if I have it monitor my eBay password, it will alert me every time the password is sent, whether it's secure or not.

I used to sign in to AS with remember me. I've also noticed eBay password being sent (once or twice, but not more) for every page displayed. I'm using IE v6, not the AS browser, and since the 'lock' is off I have to assume it's not secure.

I've also noticed... when switching to the forum, my eBay password is still being sent, even though my ID and password are different at the forum site. The only way the alert will not be triggered is to sign off AS before coming to the forum.
