Re: Beware of hacker bothering CD users
computer security 101:
1)Make sure the source is trust worthy
2)file transfer over AIM rarely a good idea...
3) Use a Virus scan on any/all downloaded files
4) also check for files added that you were unaware about
5) check date modified on all files on your computer and scan those if it changed
6)Firewalls are usually helpful
7)Make sure all vital data is backed up so if in case of an emergency you can wipe your computer and start fresh and restore the vital files(ex: tax documents etc.)
Please feel Free to add on anything I may have over looked but I believe following these guidelines should keep you safe from a majority of if not all unwanted computer invasions
