133179 2003-04-03 11:23:00 If I have two systems on my computer on seperate partitions. One system for business with no Internet connection & the other for Intenet & games etc.

Question is; will the "greebies" cross over from one system to the other, the partitions are hidden from each other?
Will the business OS remain clean?

Huh?

The greebies are in bed... They went down a few hours ago.

And thank goodness for that! ;-)

But yes, provided they're hidden, they 'should' be fine.. unless the 'greebies' can see past the 'hiding'?

133183 2003-04-04 20:45:00 one thing to remember though is that any virus etc that comes into your pc from the internet will affect your entire pc not just the internet partition. That is if you just partition a single hard drive, if you run 2 hard drives on seperate boot up and deny acess from one to the other then that will help to eliminate greebies crossing over. dipstick01 (445)
