They can get through firewall if they really wanted to.
They can do what's called a buffer overflow attack, but you'll likely notice if this ever happens. It's not exactly the sneakiest way to get into a system.
They can get through firewall if they really wanted to. I don't try to use it as it's pointless in that it hinders a lot of online playability. If someone wants my vacation photos that much, they can have them. I never keep anything important on my pc for too long. I back things up every month or two and archive it on DVDR. Saves me a lot of time should I ever need to reformat.
The only places I've been frequenting on this laptop is this site, somethingawful, photobucket, and youtube. That's it. I never use this to visit any research sites and I don't download warez, so you tell me. Unlike you underage kiddies I don't go online if I ever want to look at research.
I was downloading fallout 3, a 12 hour process given I'm using the slowest high speed internet service available to me, I was doing it via steam after I bought it off steam. Midway through the process programs started closing and processes like explorer.exe were bugging out and closing. I rebooted and pretty much lost all internet capabilities, and a bunch of apps were still closing randomly. I tried to fix it in safe mode but symantec couldn't find what was going on. Whatever it was had also deleted all my system restore states as usual. So I gave up until I got a hold of my bro's laptop to fix things.
But who am I kidding trying to convince you of all people. I could get you a screencap of my steam games list, maybe my CD key too why not, but you'd call it a photoshop or some gay stuff so forget it.
