    WTF is a Net Password and WHY....

    ....would I want one?

    My home PC has this morning asked me three times, each time requiring a double click to shut it down....whethere I want a Net Password? I looks like Microsloth but cant be sure can I?

    Never done it before today......I recently upgraded my NTL account...is that it?

    Or have I been BREACHEd ?

    A .Net Passport is a M$ thing. Its used by some sites e.g. Tesco so you can login with this instead of making a new account..... Means that 1 account can be used on various sites.... ALso used in MSN Messenger

    The usual roundup of initial XP instalation routine privacy essentials should make sure it never pops up in the first place.

    Running XP Corp, whether you have a licenced version or not;
    Turning of Windows update and IE update;
    Running XP antispy;
    Uninstalling MSN asap etc
    Switching to a better browser.
    Running Spybot S&D/Adaware...
