A beautiful place!
<div class="bbcode_quote_head">Quote: <b>Quote from tralou2you on October 28, 2013, 8:27 pm</b> Well, I appreciate your honesty. I didn't realize that people did that. Maybe they even know what I'm wearing as I'm typing this?! Is there a program for that? </div> Actually there is... if you have a camera on your laptop or computer, people can remotely turn on that camera and watch you. They send some kind of cutesy email and get you to click on something and that installes a stealth program on your computer. Then when you get on to the internet it sends the bad guy a signal that connects them to your computer and turns on your camera and microphone... with the red indicator light turned off. At that point they can watch and listen to everything you do. It's a nasty world we live in....

I guess I should stop researching in my PJ's and put some make-up on before I get online!

There are many ways to remotely control a system. It is against the law to access someoneâs computer without their permission, but good luck with that. There are many good uses for remotely controlling systems. For example, I regularly access my computer in my office remotely when traveling. It can make a slow connection on the road work just fineâ¦â¦..You are responsible for your security, if you donât have a competent computer person you trust and listen to what he/she tells you or want to learn what to do yourself then you are a sitting duck begging for trouble.

Here is a very good free program that will do that. While youâre at it you can resize your photo to a max 900 px width so everyone can actually see your picture on the forum. http://www.irfanview.com/ |

I am a sys admin managing over 70 servers. I securely remote into my servers all the time at home or on the road. Iâve done it while camping out on my chases or prospecting trips.

Not that you actually have much in the way of privacy these days, but there is no such email registry. mdavis19 |
