My last reply. Since I will not feed the anger. Rather than attack the messenger maybe you should stop and consider what I wrote. I am not a fan of Stevie B. or M$. And you were not helpful in my opinion. If you really want security then you should power down the system and bury it where only you can find it and then maybe it would be secure but I doubt it. ;) Cheers!
