I have one question echoing in my mind. I would be grateful if you could answer me on that. Can some one hack my outlook from a remote terminal and monitor my emails. Point to note is I am not using gmail,yahoo,hotmail, AOL etc for my official mails but a domain address provided by my employer. The hacker doesnt know any thing except for my email address e.g if my employer is ABC Inc. then my e mail ID is Atique@ABCinc.com. A friend of mne told me that I should be alert to this. Now i dont even know that is it possible or not. Or if the hacker is gonna do this how can he? Awaiting your response and thanking you in anticipation. Best Regards, Atique Dear Sir one man,

However, the dangerous form is when this application is installed as payload from a piece of malware. In other words. It is not dangerous for you to download and run it yourself, but it is dangerous if someone else sneaks it onto your computer (the point I was making exactly). And since your AV program doesn't know who's running it, it disables by default.

The reason Mac users haven't had to worry about security as much is because there were fewer Mac users around. But with their growth in popularity, they will begin to suffer the same attacks that PC users have suffered. With my Mac friends I use the analogy that it's like a guy not wearing a condom during sex because he's never caught any disease in the past. Past experience does not determine future experience. But as long a Mac users keep their noses in the air, they'll never see the pit they are about to fall into.
