as long as you have three things: trojan remover, antivirus and a firewall...your safe.Quote:
I learned that somebody cant hack you just because you’re sharing
worset they can do is upload you a virus/troajn...or just download off you without you knowing...thats another backdoor/trojan. so having those three and updating them daily your pretty much safe. for now. :rolleyes:
I have always shared ever since the days of napster and never had a problem.*knocks on wood*At present i'm stuck with 56k but i still share and deal with slow net surfing.I have a good Antivirus program and Adaware and i'm will be getting a firewall program soon,BTW any recomendations on a good Firewall program? :)
could you just verify something for me?Quote:

Do people say "knock on wood" for like good luck so you don't jinx yourself?
firewall: i just use the XP one, i'm sure its not very good.. <_<
When you say knock on wood you are saying I hope what I just sayed doesn't come true, so it is to stop you from jynxing yourself basically. :)
ok thank you :)Quote:

It's a very good firewall but doesn't catch attempts to contact microsoft and send them your data.
Excellent post. Good points well presented. Thanks for that.
Has confirmed what I believed to be the case. Always good to have it confirmed so well.
Incidentally the UK phrase is Touch Wood, I believe Knock on Wood is the US version.

is a fairly good explanation.
Welcome to the forum by the way.
I only let one person upload at the time, so that person get my full "attention"
Is that not the best way to do it, cos i'm kind of wondering about that?
