I know this might sound strange but apart from my pc security (anti virus, firewall, etc,) is there anything I should be aware of regarding my website security, ie people being able access or interfere with it in anyway.had a look on the forum but could not find anything.
This is just me being para...paranoi...........nuts!

whiskymac, if you are on a good shared host they should be trying to handle security of your site and not a lot you can do. If you ever have your own server or a self managed dedicated server you'd need to learn a lot about it.

On your PC though, you should also have anti-spyware. Windows defender and Adaware are 2 that are fairly good and free. The better ones are only about $29 and worth it if you surf a lot and don't want to pick up cooties and malware through other web sites.
