[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 48574, member: 176912"] I seem to spend rather a large part of my life fixing folks PC's which are riddled with stuff. ActiveX controls, malicious scripts, spyware, adware, popup programs, denial of service bots, you name it. Most of it is not actively trying to punch a large hole in your firewall to warn you of it's presence. Most of it comes in through ports that are already wide open. Yes, most of these folks thought Kazaa was the best thing they ever installed. Don't do it. Newsgroups are good, but only if your ISP has good retention on its NNTP servers. If not, premium news subscription services can be a good investment. When you get more into it, IRC is a good way to go. Not for beginners though! [/QUOTE]
