    Does giving out port information increase security risk?

    So, I was on a game forum and a user there was asking a GM what ports the game uses; apparently that user was at work so I'm assuming the IT dept blocked common ports used by entertainment websites. The GM responded by saying they cannot divulge that information due to possible security risks...

    Building a new pc! Looking for additional Advice!

    Actually, I quite like the keyboard/mouse you picked out. I'll start adding some changes. A question though, may I ask why you chose the Asus H97-PLUS over the ASRock H97 PRO 4? The only difference I can see is that the PLUS supports crossfire. (I hope that didn't come off as snobby, I'm just...

    Learning About VPN's and Choosing One!

    Yes, I'm not looking for absolute security.. that would be absurd. I just want to be more protected than I am now. To me, it seems like if I'm going to use anti-virus to protect my computer from infections, it makes sense to protect my internet connections as well. Monkey. If you're not going...

    Learning About VPN's and Choosing One!

    So, I recently took an interest in adding an extra layer of security while I'm browsing (the more you learn about the internet, the more gruesome it comes) and I want to setup a VPN for myself and the rest of my family (they use our wi-fi). I've been reading various websites for the last couple...

    Support has ended, is that a big problem?

    This may sound foolish to some of you, but hey, we all have to learn somehow! With support ending, meaning no future exploits will be patched, wouldn't a decent anti-virus program suffice? Lets say for the next 10 years a top of the line security company (say bitdefender) continues to support...

    Assistance with Partitioning

    I've decided to reinstall my OS since I got my new video card (I like starting fresh) and it was past due. I wanted to organize my HDD a little better this time as each time I reinstall my OS, my files become unorganized. I decided I was going to split my HDD into partitions. One for my OS, and...

    Weird Red Dots?

    I've been searching on google for a few hours and found nothing that would solve my problem. An HDMI > Dvi adapter that I ordered came in the mail and I wanted to try it out on my second monitor. (Note my current card AMD Radeon 7570, does not support 2 outputs, only simultaneous display). For...

    http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Kraizer/saved/2yDb This is what I have so far, whatcha think? Now that I look at those graphics cards, I'm kinda stuck between which one I should get. I've been checking out benchmarks and reviews on various websites and the test results are different each time...
