Not a stupid subject at all.
I moved this topic to a more appropriate area: Miscellaneous comments, notices or thinking out loud

Being in the software business, we were very aware of this potential.

here are 2 links "not to an internet security company", after you read you will understand why i said " " http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=4098&tag=nl.e550

Thanks for posting that smoke0077 i finally feel better i think there right the Norton and other expensive security centers are really making alot of money off this for nothing. They just like to scare people like me that are easily scared when it comes to security risks on computers.

This might not be about conflicker or hide-my-ip but i found this website How to protect your computer from hackers, spyware and viruses hopefully i'm not wrong posting this but it really helped me just wondering if it is a true site about hackers and spware. http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-t...pying-software/ after reading the topic windows firewall exceptions and windows task manager i was being hacked and spyed on not sure if what they suggest takes this off computer or not but just thought i would tell everyone don't try any other ip changers not sure how this happened to me except using other ip changers or opening emails. just make sure you buy hide-my-ip & not others.
