Hi foolofthehill
No offence taken just looked back and seen what I had written
I did not mean to Imply that this forum was under attack, what I was supposed to have said, the record companies and Film companies are going after the people that use the P2P networks
U download a certain song or a film, you go to play this song or film
Ur computer will slow down for about 10-20 sec while certain files are being written in the background because of the code written into the song or the film
The first file that will be written has ORKL in it's title, (that's not it's full name)look for the file on your hard drive
the computer will then be checked for any P2P programs and the like
the program written to your computer, will then try and access the internet
this information will then be transmitted to the company I used to work for
that way they get an Idea of what networks they can flood with fakes
also sent at the time is the Ip address of your computer
That way they can tell who you are
I think you also asked which firewall I use on my gaurd computer that accesses the internet, I use Zone Alarm Security Suit, where all the programs have to ask for access to the internet (Don't know why you were intersted in that)
