Cassandra1405241487 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 the subject was site protecting.. Well, I was really referring to my Web sites as well, but I decided to phrase it as if I were talking only about my desktop machines because I believe in keeping a low profile, also for security reasons.Of course, thousands of people per week do find my sites, and I wouldn't want them to stop, but as the lady said, why look for trouble? On the other hand, it could really be that the bad guys don't find my sites "serious" enough. So much the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I guess it can't hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
