[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 3955794, member: 50228"] Speaking of bad people, back then you could install Symantec (Norton) PC Anywhere (remote access to your computer from anywhere) and do an open search on the internet. HUNDREDS of people had it installed with NO password required. You could go through computers one after another and turn on people's webcams (early 2000s), see their taxes, see their pictures and videos (the rich ones), and pop their CD tray open and closed. It was crazy. 🤣 As for the software, we found that most of the software on the big FTP servers was 100% legit. The only times you ran a risk of spyware (usually email relays) was if you got stuff from russia or taiwan, or some small no-name place. [/QUOTE]
