well yes I should know up to a few weeks ago I was using BT internet as
my ISP (now back with UKOnline) a friend of mine rang me up and told me
my ISP details was on a web site, password etc. He told me what was
on the site and yes there was my password for all to see. (I did not see
it he told me over the phone my details)

I got him to config' my sys' with Miami deluxe, firewall etc.

I'm back with Ukonline so if I get hacked ever again they will have to pay
to do it as I now pay as I go. I've given up mad long surfing, just log
on every few days for email etc.

Regards



Cheers all the best
