There are many ways, most obvious and frequently used....trojans that allow
remote access, check out the info about sub-7 2.1 on our site. Not only can
it access your machine remotely, but it can allow users with the multimedia
kits (video/sound recorder) to be listened in on and watched. (now there's a
frightening prospect) Firewalls/personal desktop protection is one way of
detecting this and blocking it.

Other ways are through program exploitations (internet exploder as an
example) can be used by NT websites running IIS to snoop the data in your
hard drive.
You can be attacked by a person exploiting code for AIM to crash your
computer...okay...so nothing's deleted...but isnt it annoying?
