[QUOTE="Juan Largo, post: 601129, member: 47345"] Knowing your IP address doesn't do a hacker much good, any more than knowing your street address would help a burglar break into your house. Leaving ports open will definitely make it easier, however, just like leaving a door unlocked into your house. To find out if your computer is "hackable," run the tests on the ShieldsUp! web site: [url]https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2[/url] If there are any security issues with your computer, this site will help you fix them. BTW, using one OS versus another doesn't make it any easier/harder for someone to "own" your computer. [/QUOTE]
