I don't understand (probably because I'm thick!).
Would you not normally disconnect from the internet while disabling ZA and
"adding" (installing?) new software? If so, I don't see how any hacker
could access your system.
Presumably your A-V program was disabled also?
Am I missing something here? Perhaps you could expand further on this
nasty thing.
Seems there's a lesson for us here---or is this mainly for those on cable
connection?
