Hi limewirevirgin

Just to add to deepblue's advice, if you are really worried about your "C" drive being compromised then get an external HD, like I did, and create a "shared" folder/directory on that instead.

LW by default sets up a “shared” folder/directory on your “C” drive, but I must admit that I was never ever comfortable with this. Therefore, I decided that, before using LW, I would purchase an external drive and use a shared directory on that rather than the default offering.

Admittedly, I made my decision back when V4.0.5 was the current version but today, with V4.8.1 and its security enhancements, you are far less likely to have your “C” drive open to the world.

However, a touch of paranoia keeps you sharp and aware of the possible dangers internet and P2P users face daily, so if I were buying LW Pro (V4.8.1) for the first time I would still end up purchasing an external HD for my shared folder.
