Hi darren

I've just had my e-mail address book stolen by a chinese hacker from one of my company network computers- I've got full sophos/ lavasoft network protection in place and internet restrictions in place. Can someone do the same to any database i.e. pocket gps world stored on my hard drive and what is your policy if this happens to a very honest and supportive subscriber?

regards

If you think it's at risk don't leave it on the hard disk. As soon as you've finished with it delete it. You can always download it again when you need it.

We would have to deal with such a case if/when it occurs. Highly unlikely though and as Paul says, if it's an issue that concerns you, delete the database once installed to your device.
