Multiplayer: Success hosting behind a firewall

[Budwise]

Okay, I don't use virus software or firewalls. To be honest, I don't really care about attacks on my PC. I can always reformat and reinstall windows and my games so its not really a big deal. If I think I have a virus, I use an online free virus scan.

I hate firewalls with a vengence. My dad has me on some parental controls, and sometimes I feel like breaking my computer...

You have two options to fix your little problem, one - install a keylogger and don't let him know about it. Then screw up your system so he has to use his master password to fix the problem and that way you can look at the keylogger and find his password. THen use it and disable the firewall.

Or, just find out how he lock you out and uninstall the program "by mistake"

So if his dad happens to run a business using this (shared) PC and the messing around with system files, or subsequent virus attacks lose all his data, which he hasn't backed up properly for several weeks, 'cos he's been really busy lately, then you're willing to accept full responsibility for dishing out this kind of advice?

Also, if his dad runs the right kind of software on a daily basis, a keylogger will show up straight away, won't it?

My Firewall has blocked 20,947 attempted accesses in the past month and that's after I told it not to log the more routine kinds of events. Today's count is 429. I'm taking no chances.
