You need to calm down.

I don't understand, why do you not want to password protect your account and just put your computer on the windows logon screen while you are not at your computer?

Look, doing that with the USB won't protect anything. They can also burn CDs... or just upload whatever they want online.

britoniah3480, you should fight fire with fire. They're using a USB key against you, you should use one to protect yourself. Only code with the USB key inserted and save all your files and sourcecodes only to it. You can even install PureBasic on it and leave it off your harddrive, it will work fine like that. When you're finished a development session, take your USB key with you and keep it safe from where others can find it. There are no files on your computer to steal.

sorry i was just pissed off.

you dont understand my words.

yes its a great great great IDEA to use that. but hey i want to try it myself how to do that. all I want is to learn and excel my programming skill by challenging myself. thats all i want to do.

i dont have a CD writer in my computer and maybe i'll figure it out how to detect upload and download to my computer. thats all dude

one more point to your social problem:

it does not matter if your father sais he believed you or not.
maybe he does believe you and just thinks:
"It's not my point to interfere, it's your point to grow a man and protect yourself.
If I'd helped you now, you'll ask for help ever after.
But when I don't help you, I teach you how to help yourself."

...and still take in account what Matt said concerning your sister.
oh... and have a nice day.

--> it's your point to grow a man and protect yourself.
thats why im determine to create this program, to protect myself and at the same time teach myself. i know and i forgive my sister for doing that. is just that i dont want it to happen again. you see, i love making challenges. yes i know that i will be a parasite if i always asking you.. dont worry, i'll do my best to be independent. thanks for the friendly advice anyway. =)

Hey, there's no harm is asking for help, no-one will think you are a parasite, just don't expect help for everything, people will choose to help if they think it is not for something bad.

yup... that's the point.

just remember that Matt posted two links concerning the USB-problem,
there where more than once the tip to add a biaos-password..
...and my tip hardware-disabling them was not a joke...
do you think, your sister would open the case and check the cables if it doesn't work?

you are welcome to ask questions, that's what the forums is for.

...just understand that we suspected you wanting to write a virus.
oh... and have a nice day.
