Are you talking about networked PC's or personal? Just get a good firewall if it's a personal one. http://www.zonelabs.com Or if it's networked, tell the System Admin. Problem solved either way.

Installing a firewall will protect your own computer in most cases, but it's treating the symptoms, not the disease. Call in the local constables. Or higher...Let them get away with it now and in a couple of years they'll be the ones trying for Pentagon computers, banks and commercial sites with thousands of credit card numbers.

Do something to try and stop it now. Or regret it later...If it were me...I think a trip out behind the woodshed would be in order... http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Pete...you just nailed the reason **I think a trip out behind the woodshed would be in order** kids are so out of hand now days (the problem kids anyways). In this world of political correctness parents that do care and attempt discipline are shunned or even arrested for it...yet it is the cry of all the leftists "we have to do something about poor Johnny that just shot Marla, Tim and Sara"...smack Johnny's wrist?? I think not...OK...I'd better stop or the wars will start...Old school works when it is supported.

Don't worry Jerry. You're out in California. You folks have been havin' a real hard time lately with a couple of out of control kids. As a father, I understand your sentiments.

Sorry Jerry, I thought you were out on the coast. The sentiment holds though.

hehe I have something ( a little present) for anyone sucessful in gaining access to my pc (while it is unlikely it could- happen!!) in fact it kicks in if Im even scanned more than three times by any one IP.

But I don't suggest anything like that for your situation (in school)!!

so you are stuck with reporting to your system admin=, cause Im not gonna tell you how to circumvent the security set up on your LAN. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

As soon as they return from the woodshed......read em this:
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now.
They got that way from paying Your bills, cleaning Your clothes and
listening to You talk about how cool You are. So before you save
the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try
cleaning the closet in your own room, picking up all the crap you left
around the house & when your done, thank your parents for feeding you
for the last eighteen years and paying for your college.
