You should have your computer setup very specifically when using SR to make it safer for everyone.
I'm going to be offering a service to trusted members (once I'm trusted too) that will make SR impossible to trace on your home PC
(literally impossible) I'm going to post about the idea and the setup when I get it done and then make it invite only, but just some tips for people.

1) Once you've found the correct url why not encrypt it yourself and keep a copy on your comp?
2) Your password should be ridiculously difficult but you should use one of many excellent and safe password lockers for it.
3) Change your password frequently.
4) For the slightly more technically able, automatically log your last login timestamp and check against it every login. If it mismatches, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD
5) I'm shortly going to release a bookmarklet that can check the login page is genuine for you with JS, it's really simple and almost foolproof. Don't share it though as if you do, the phishers will get it too and then it's useless

6) Don't do anything that compromises the road! It ruins it for everyone! Especially us vendors!
