Thanks for the repy, but FYI i'm not new at the game.
I have been working and using PC's for many many years. I even ran
a BBS before the days of the internet.
My first computer was programmed in binary. Step by step. Word
by word. Yes, I am probably older than most of you.

I am aware that LW is strictly p-p but they DO have a database to
store info on users and files and their origins, etc.
Without a database of some type the system would not know where
to direct you for downloading a file.

You are right though, anyone who downloads .exe, .com, .zip, or other
attachments then opens them without scanning them first is a fool.

Thanks folks for the reply. :xeri_ok1ani:

yup my bbs was COOTMASTER COVE
first on a ivory system w atari like look
a- z commands and * sysop
then went to CNET w awesome look
but by then ui moved and bbs were out
same A-xx commands w zz for sysop

no p2p exactly like a BBS u connected to ANOTHER user
there is no base like you tube for example

as for software ppl rather be foolish downloading exe's then spend $20-50 at a store.

even AVs wouldn't you buy something like a saftybag or on star for your care for protection or insurance?

so spend bit extra buy a av or software
just bc its free doesn't make it worth headache of broken computer safe few dollars

but no ppl want safe a buck and dl everything free expecting it save a few cents

then bam computer is dead

oh ya im 37

Right you are cootmaster. The trojan I got was from when I installed Limewire and ran it for the first time. McAfee's took care of it, but I still think that gnutella should check it out anyway. BTW I d/l Limewire directly from the website; not a 3rd party.

BBS's.... 'those were the days!!!!!!!'

:dance:

3rd party- BIG TROUBLE
ALWAYS use parent site/download com/ tested site
