I would really like your expert "network admin" opinion of how the government can just "scan systems". Please enlighten me. The most information you could get from the average windows user from scanning their system would be OS version, ports open and services they are running, you can't explore their hard drive unless you have explicit network permission given to you from the host computer. You can't remotely access a hard drive unless they are running some type of service like ftp or telnet that allows remote hosts to log in to the system. That is ridiculous to even think of that they can just scan hard drives.

Two, it's the federal trade commission for omnipresent rulers sake, all these people want more than likely is just you stupid cookie list thus why it's trying to access you computer. Alot of sites do this my friend one way or another I'm sure if you went to an online store or some where equivalent it would set it off too. So before jumping to rash conspirisist lunicies if you are a network, A+ certified tech you shouldn't of over looked that fact. Sorry man not really seeing anything special in this.

I haven't used peerguardian, but does it watch all standard ports, or simply those that you specify for file sharing purposes?

Just the ones specified in the list, thats why I use BlackIce for the rest.
Sir, I am not trying to be an a$$, I simply din not feel that I deserved the "you do not know what you are talking about"
And I was simply sharing something that I found that was "new"
Believe me Sir, you can do A LOT to a persons computer if you want to and have the time. Just like the vunerablity in the Windows messaging system. Do you have yours turned off? Cause it not a person and or website CAN take over your computer.

I never said I knew it all, just from what I have seen happen from personal experience.
I have never in a post to someone come out and said
You don't know what you are talking about" irregardless of how silly the post may seem.
With that said, I extend my hand and say " It's done"
All I expect from this board is the chance to learn and interact with other people, but not to be told that I am full of caca
Cool? Cool
