You've all heard a lot of talk about whether shopping on the Internet is safe.

The primary concern of on-line shoppers is that their credit card information will somehow end up in the wrong hands.

InterFocus Music and GuitarConsultant.com use the online credit card processing company AuthorizeNet which encrypts your order information, keeping it private and protected. It's actually safer to transmit your credit card information over the Internet (by any means) than it is to use it in a local restaurant.

When you're to ready place an order, you'll see that the little lock or key on your web browser is unbroken. This means that all of the data passing between you and AuthorizeNet is unreadable by a third party.

If you're unable to access us in secure mode (perhaps from work), it is possible that a proxy server or firewall at your site is misconfigured, and you should speak to your system administrator.

What most people don't realize is that shopping with your credit card is actually safer than paying by check. In the event that there is a problem with your purchase, the credit card company will remove the purchase from your bill and the on-line merchant is not paid. In the event that your credit card number is stolen, the credit card companies do not hold you responsible for any unauthorized purchases
