It's time to beat this into everyone's head......

99% of you have sensitive information on your computer....."cookies" which automatically log into your books, credit card #'s, banking info, etc.

SPEND THE FUKKING MONEY ($40-$100) to get yourself a personal firewall and a virus scanner. Set your virus scanner to update as often as it allows. It takes very little time, and may save your credit.

This is serious shit & it does happen. Yesterday's virus opened a remote "cmd" window on your machine-that means that the "source" machine had access to everything on your computer. They could copy the entire thing to their computer as fast as your internet connection could send it.

Think about it.......

Dante, if your internet connection "does NAT", your fine (network address translation), otherwise you are vulnerable to a good hacker, but it's a VERY small possibility.

I'll fire you an email at hotmail....if you're vulnerable, you don't want to answer publicly-seriously, it's that easy.
