Windows XP home |
|
|
I was told others can put things on my windows program in an area where the
normal user cannot find. When I do an internet serarch I always clean
cookies and do disk cleanup. Is it possible for someone/or pc attach
information to my windows program even though I do the above cleanup?
Thank you,
Doris |

Typically that is only possible if you are running w/o a firewall and an out
of date patch set of Windows XP. If your firewall is up, and your are
updated, then there is not too much to worry about. For extra production,
you can disable ActiveX and Java in IE.

Thanks very much, my firewall is set high so I feel safe after your response.
Again Thanks, Dori
