it should be safe, but change your password regularly and run virus checks or whatever. and obv dont save your password. you should be fine if you just protect yourself

ummm, cuz the marginal utility of not typing in your password every time < having your account hacked from a remote location and leaving the password for the hacker so he can take your $$$ ithout even having to try. Which is what happened to me.

-EV, I'd say

FWIW, I won't be playing in class, just maybe firing up a turbo SnG during a lunch break or something, or playing before class starts. Never used auto-save on my laptop before, don't plan to start.

Thanks for all the advice.

[/ QUOTE ]yea thats true but if u have a keylogger and you type your password out everytime it might get intercepted. i see your point.
i guess what mnost ppl would do is have keeppass hold all their password and then copy and paaste the passowrds into the the poker client
