[QUOTE="MacBookPro12, post: 1302896, member: 216527"] vansmith, I'm just concerned b/c I don't know anything about computers, and I'm not sure what symptoms there might be. I just want to know if these symptoms would be blatantly obvious, or very subtle. If they're subtle, then I guess there's no way of knowing? If it's obvious, then I can safely conclude that my computer is fine, seeing as I haven't noticed anything other than the hotmail issue. Just to clarify - the Firewall being off is normal? I always just assumed it was on by default, or that I had turned it on when I first bought my laptop...I can't remember though. But thanks for your reply and advice..I definitely need to stop being paranoid about this. It's been eating away at me for a week. [/QUOTE]
