Re: Security/Hacker exposure

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Rick,

Thanks for getting back to me. The scan in question was to let me know
whether my laptop might be vulnerable to hackers and the quoted sentence I
pasted up there was the only weakness according to the symantec scan.

I was wondering whether I should leave it or do I need to adjust some
setting somewhere?

Thanks,
Sweety
