Alright dude, ur wish....
But let me remind everyone else...
This method has worked for EVERYONE who has tried it b4, and they are
having NO problems.... They've reported NO such thing as security
holes or things like that..
Security hole or not...
if u have a good antivirus or firewall, it's good enough...

Everyone who "doesn't want to take the risk" can live with
"hl2.exe has stopped working"....
Like it or not...

I'm just trying to help...

No idea what you're on about as you've snipped out all previous posts.

He originally posted some fix for HL2.

Guess not everyone realizes this is MS Usenet, lots of Interweb Sitez
copy the group onto web forums.

Actually his suggestion to open a hole in your network security wasn't
that great of a suggestion. It may fix the problem, but could cause
others. Would be better to ask Valve support for assistance, just to
double-check and see if that's the only solution.

Besides, he types you as "u" and your as "ur" (which is hallarious,
because "ur" isn't your, it's actually an abbreviation of "you're", so
he's saying "you are wish...." in a literal sense of the word), do you
really want to take any advice from him without doing a bit of your own
research first?

(Likewise, I'd hope no one here takes any of my advice blindly without
double-checking.)
