To link my comp to parents comp, that way both can be online at the same time, I know its only a cheap one but thats all I need to link the two. I cant wait!! To be honest Lee, i have a router set up at home and share the internet with it to my parents and g/f too and it's not the best one out there, I dont even use the firewall on it so I'm not protected by attacks. I have norton antivirus installed and thats all I use, no personal firewall or anything, I have been online now with broadband with NTL for like 5 years I think now and have never been attacked or hacked. You might think that's lucky but it's down to what software you use and the security that you use on your PC, something simple like having NTFS and using logins with passwords and encryption will stop so much from happening on your PC. But ofcourse for the beginners of computers I would recommend getting firewalls for that extra piece of mind. There was a program that I used a few years ago that scanned ranges of IP's on the internet looking for shares that people left open, you wouldnt believe how many hard drives were shared out by people without passwords, I even found a couple of printers which I was able to connect to and print things off to, ofcourse it was a little slow but still funny to image someone sitting at their PC to see their printer printing off text for no reason as if the PC was alive hehe... |
