Encrypting internet activity


In the event that someone is sniffing my computer, what type of encryption can I implement so that even if that someone sees the internet info, it would be useless since it would be encrypted??

you have to use something that what you are
communicating with can understand.

you could encrypt that messge like this

lkjsdflksdlfjsdkfjsdkfjl jsdfoieoihfoiehoifhoiashf
asdlffdjieiejjeeijeifjidfj fsdfisjldifjslidjf.

but this web site just doesn't seem to understand.

There are many options for employing the use of cryptography in your internet usage. Are you looking at something like a VPN where you have an encrypted tunnel to a certain network or encrypted email?
