Can one of you experts shed a little light on the security issue? I would
like to be able to upload designs, but I have read your posts telling us
newbies to be careful. What is it I need to do to protect myself? The
last thing I need is to get myself in trouble that way. Any help is
greatly appreciated. I'm trying to watch and learn, but I guess some of it
is still way over my head.
Designs and other data type files carnt hurt you with viruses, period.
These types of files are like a CD in a player. They can be noise but not
"hurt you"
Files that execute and can control the CPU of your 'puter can hurt you,
badly.
cheers
