Biff Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Just a little warning to make sure your private confidentials are safe! As you may know how the system of File sharing software works, if you agree to sharing files so your points can go up, and so that you can download at faster speeds from the server, it takes files etc from your computer and uploads them onto the whole file sharing program. I "used" Ares download Software, I later found that most of my videos etc had been uploaded up and ready for other people to download, but also quite alot of telephone numbers and address's of people i keep in contact with and send parts off to. Before i had Ares, I stored my credit card details on my computer, i deleted them for risk of anybody being able to get hold of them. So just a word of warning, if you have Credit Card details or other personal files you wish not to share, be careful as if you run a file share program it may upload them without warning.

koxx-boxx Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi, yeah and if you use certain downloading programs such as warez or any other that has chat rooms, dont use the chat rooms because when you enter the chat room, who ever is the person who set that chat room up can enter your computer and look through every file and take them from you, because when you click to enter the chat room you are going into there computer with out knowing. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
