Me neither. To hear some people speaking when this whole thing started you'd think that having UPnP installed on your computer was a recipie for instant computer death. All these people were complaining about a security flaw which while dangerous already had a patch released for it anyway.

I did say something to that end on here when someone posted a warning but everyone seemed convinced that I was wrong and UPnP had to be uninstalled immediately. :rolleyes:
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

it's ignorance... if one person says one thing and two people say another... all the ignorant ones will go for the majority rule... and try to back it up with some 'proof' they pulled out of their ass

But if three people say there is a problem,  two say it isn't as bad as the third and the third also has a history of beating things up to a ridiculous extreme, who would you believe? Me, I'll believe the other two every time, particularly if one is the FBI.
