I preface my remarks by emphasising that I a a new user of PTE. There is obviously a strong and loyal user base contributing to this forum and I do not intend to be provocative. Having made those points, I would be interested to hear PTE users' (calm rational and realisitic)experiences of having thier presentations corrupted and re-circulated with malicious intent and how this can be avoided in practice. While I appreciate that virus threats are a fact of internet life well beyond PTE, my offline discussions with colleagues raise concerns about the use of .exe files. It has been pointed out to me that a presentation could be cracked, corrupted with a trojan and recirculated, and I wouldn't know which was the original and which was not. Perhaps the obvious advice is 'Don't circulate exe files'. I would be interested in comments that go beyond the obvious 'Be careful! and will be grateful to hear views and advice as I am interested in using PTE for illustrated voice-over training materials.
