Now, talking of threats....It's been pretty much covered. Your system is only as safe as the user, i'm a safe user but still use antivirus software for piece of mind. There will allways be programmers out there that will try to write software/virus that will break any security wall..... | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq Desktop
