[QUOTE="New2TheMac, post: 1036193, member: 139905"] Hello again everyone. Due to what you have all said in this topic, and thank you all by the way for your responses, I'm going to try and tone down the computer paranoia and make a decision about the programs. You know, sometimes all you need is advice and comfort. I do have another question though, and before I ask it I will say I have no proof that it happened, nor am I saying it happened or that I think it happened. How would one know if their computer has been hacked? One reason I think I get so worried about things on the computer is because I don't know enough about them, and sometimes what you don't know is what you fear. We've heard about people getting hacked, but what precautions can you take so that won't happen to you, and how would you know if you were a victim? I know beggars can't be choosers, but please give me a simple explanation since as you can see I am a computer simpleton :) [/QUOTE]
