A warning to all on this forum
Be careful.
New members are popping up all the time and their first post is a link to some porn site. By clicking the link and visiting the site you may be subjecting your self to a trojan being put into your PC. The new member can then get into your PC anytime through the door the trojan has created. One in your computer anything can be accessed from your pics to your personal details.
Be careful everyone it could be some malicious asshole or it could even be some government authority compiling lists of LOS lovers. I cant help thinking about a poster this week who was stopped in the UK and challenged about his trips to LOS they seemed to know a lot about him already when he was stopped, and he couldn't work out how
I wish the moderator would delete these members.

like the rest of your glib, simplistic and usually incorrect responses this is not particularly useful advice in this situation - a firewall will not stop a trojan being installed by a web site and may not stop the trojan calling home depending on how it does it and what ports are open on the firewall
certainly use a firewall (one that monitors traffic in and out), but it is not that simple - surf/IM/email safely (don't click on suspicious links or unexpected attachments, javascript/activex off, etc), keep up-to-date on security patches, become more educated about security issues, etc,etc, etc

Why does he need a site when he can have the real thing?
Funny the things people worry about and don't worry about.
Like not removing their 'tracks' when they use an internet shop in Pattaya to access their bank account.
Even though there has been much publicity\warnings; a woman was recently stopped just short of transferring $130,000 in a Nigerian scam and a preacher was clipped for $350,000, something about a fortune, smuggled out of Nigeria by painting the bills black, which would be shared if the recipient of the e-mail would send money to buy solvent to remove the paint! It's variously known as the Pidgeon Drop, Tulsa Bag, Lookie-Loo, etc... and has been around more years than Madame Pearl!... But the geeks go right on falling for it.
A 'woman'? who has a Cooking web-site recently sent all subscribers a plea for help: 'It's Christmas, and the family is broke and she had to hock her wedding rings to pay the mortgage and there'll be no Christmas... And Oil-Can Harry has little Nell is tied to the rails and Bessie tied up in the saw mill and...and...and....
And another arrived today regarding how cruel people are for telling her to stuff it--Not a roast chicken!
Meanwhile; Little Johnny's moving more swiftly down the river! He can hear the falls!...but Dangerous Dan the Ding-Dong Man has his pants down & Johnny's knickers tied round Johnny's skinny ankles and is about to!...About to! Tune in tomorow!... When Johnny gets a flu shot.
I wonder how many who exchange messages with 'pictures' posted on 'introduction' (Lovelorn) sites give a thought about who may actually be on the opposite end of the loop. I know a retired Filipino lady who's supplementing her pension by posting some very demure photos of her 14 y.o. grandson, (what a) Boyet and 15 y.o Boom Boom! (Not the names she uses and, by the way the photos were taken more than 15 years ago.) And, Oh, how Lola (Granny) can emote!...Recently the poor wee tyke's home was destroyed: sliding down a steep hill during a typhoon\mud-slide and there is nothin for Christmas...as she sits there in her bra & panties smoking (the wrong end of) her Hope cigarette and typing with one finger: the same finger she's giving the punters who are sending her grandsons money--And she could be the least problem one might encounter on the internet.
