Even if you don't have any personal information stored on it and only use it for gaming, there is still always plenty of reasons for someone to ivade your pc, that is unless you don't care about it at all. You might not have any information of value to anyone whatsoever, but there is always someone who might just want to crash it for the hell of it. They could invade it and use it to send virus' and other malware to other people's pc's. It's your discretion.

Do you have any anti-spyware or anti-adaware installed? If not, download spybot and ad-aware at the minimum, and scan regularly. I scan once a week at the least, and whenever I think there might be suspicious activity. Do you download the Windows security upadates, or check their website for recent updates, about, I don't know, every couple weeks or so? If not, do so.

Again, there is always plenty of reasons to invade your pc. [/QUOTE]
