well now i'm brand new to this site, and its actually spyware that brought me here. and just the amount of ppl that are trying to hack into systems. it amazes me (and of course alot of them are bring viruses with them, i just had to bring my computer back to its original state because of infections in my registry from spies). so i've been fighting with the evil aol about how safe am i with their protection? well they assure me - oh i'm safe - well i've got their (aol)version of mcafee virus protection and firewall. its ok, but i'm still not sure. and i'm really irritated (don't like aol or mcafee) because with my aol 'firewall' - the technology of it is as good as a bought mcafee wall, but i can't sent out info on ip addresses of ppl trying to get in or block them (well i can block them, but have to go into my system to do it)......just new to this whole scene and i'm like obsessed with it....its bad out here...
