Nope..Use it myself.
Good program. This program reads your files, and you don't have to be on
line to use it.
I think it's just common sense, we all know our computers are sending
"OUT" all the time.
Just have some idea why the computer wants to communicate with the
outside, I use Zone Alarm, and anything new, it warns me.
All kinds of programs around that make it easier, and safer to be out
there.
Sometimes we can be Super Sensitive, but for sure we know that
Virus are the big issue these days. Just another terrorism attack,
foreign or domestic. We will live with it, and like everything else,
will overcome.
