We are all living vicariously through you and wish we could do the same thing.

I feel comfortable dealing with these guys because I know they cannot harm my system because all they see is Windows running as a Virtual Machine. When I'm through with them (or they're through with me) I simply overwrite the Virtual Hard Disk we've been playing with.

I'd strongly recommend that anyone without similar protection for their system avoid toying with these guys.

For those who wish to "dance with the Devil" a bit, a few tools (weapons) that may be handy. . .

Disk imaging software AND an image of your system.

Software that monitors changes to the Registry.

Software that monitors changes to files and folders.

Software that monitors Network activity.

Software that monitors the background connections your system makes to the Internet.

Software that monitors your browser's cache and lets you extract downloaded files.

Cheers, PW.

A quick list, not exhaustive, but a start. . .
