Why You Should Not Be A P2p Leach

[lunatacs]

I learned that somebody cant hack you just because you’re sharing

as long as you have three things: trojan remover, antivirus and a firewall...your safe.


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.

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?

*knocks on wood*

could you just verify something for me?

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.

It&#39;s a very good firewall but doesn&#39;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&#39;m kind of wondering about that?
