AdeleWard writes "There's no need to hack in the way Samy Kamkar did to get a person's geographical location and info about their computer — I came across a free email tracker called WhoReadMe which also provides the geographical location of the recipient, their browser and operating system, as well as informing users if and when the email gets opened, if attachments are opened and if they get forwarded plus who to. It's easy for anybody to get this sort of info from us simply by sending an email that we open."

I've written about your question on my own blog posts where you can also get free trial software called SecureConnect that would protect you from hackers and doesn't have any adware etc on http://www.geid.co.uk/
