Did you know that a site that is http:// is not a secured site. A secured site should read https://. Just thought I let you know in case you didn't.

the area code is '180' and the prefix is '028.' I know of no US prefixes that begin with a '0'. Is this a scam. I did not answer the phone.

Ok, guys, I need your help desperately. For the past two days I haven't been able to open-up my Defender Pro Antivirus. Windows security alerts has already notified me that the Antivirus is turned off, but it doesn't open-up. Oh, this is so frustrating. Does anyone know why I can no longer have access to it? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to read password from a file in our system and check their effectiveness and warn the users that have not so strong passwords to change. even ones based on text input would be good for now.

I have a lot of pictures in folders on my computer that I want others to be able to view, but not deleted. I want to be able to add new pictures and I need to be able to modify and delete as well, but I don't want anyone else to be able to. I'm not running NTFS. Any suggestions?

The free trial of my McAfee Security Center has just run out. I've been quite happy with its performance so far, but was looking to buy a new one-year subscription from Amazon and the reviews were atrocious! I don't mind buying some security software, but what's the best to get? Thanks.

Thanx for all the great & scarey replies. Although I would like to add a bit more detail. Please keep in mind that I am computer illiterate. If a certain person were to attempt this, it would be for the purpose of spying on me as a form of "revenge". My computer holds no financial records, etc. so there would be nothing to gain, other than a sick thrill of knowing what I am doing on the computer. In the past, I had communicated w/ this person on the computer-would that make this scenario easier for the person to gain access? This is a very sick person, who may be intent on conducting any form of "revenge" possible to hurt me. We have no contact, but their threat of seeking revenge is obviously on my mind. So I ask again-with this additional info for you all-Could they be watching me thru my computer? Would I know? I do have firewall protection, but thats all I know. Thank you all very much .....

i am wondering if any users of yahoo answers have got any spy-bot stories,as i cleaned a friends p.c today and nearlly fell of my chair when i returned and it said 487 entries
this may have been why their p.c was taking 2 minutes to load the yahoo page and nearly 3 minutes to boot up,amd that was on a good day
luckily enough all infections were cleaned and one was cleaned after a restart.i also changed norton anti-virus and installed avast 4.7 which started picking up adware and viruses,which norton didnt even find,so much for norton anti-virus,,a bag of xxxx
any stories of bad spyware would be appreciated
cheers
