I had to uncheck it during my regular updates because it wasn't connecting and I was getting error messages that the link wasn't open. Did they close that?

If your desktop is connected to the Internet, perhaps downloading bank statements, stock updates, etc, that information is also quite at risk. However, I will admit that the Quicken website is likely to be more of a target for identity/money thieves than a typical desktop. I have to agree with Brian.

There is always some risk involved I agree. How much safer is your information on your personal desktop versus this online service assuming you have it connected to the internet?

I wonder if Microsoft Money will follow Quicken's lead and drop the fee (http://www.microsoft.com/money/order.aspx).

Sure they have security in place, but no online resource is every completely safe no matter how hard you try. I much prefer keeping my personal financial info on my desktop, and I say this as a software developer myself. The Quicken Online thing makes me nervous.

The only thing I really didn't like about Quicken was the monthly fee. Felt stupid to pay money to save money. All I can say is about time!
