On this Windows Vista laptop, the file size is 6,179,840 bytes and it says
that the file size on disk is 6,180,864 bytes but I have no way of knowing
what the original file size was on my friend's computer and I don't know
what machine and what OS he has.
Best regards,
Iskandar

Dear Iskandar,
So far your file on my Mac is 5.89mb and 5.9mb and 6.0mb. This is normal.
Methods vary as to how a file size is calculated. There are again a variety
of technical reasons for this. However when you have access to the original
file you have the best way of determining if there is any significant size
change. That is the simplest method.
There are other systems of doing this on Linux for example, only I cannot
remember what it is called. I work in two languages, French and English and
they have their own technical terms and I am often flummoxed when attempting
to explain things. :-)
Last week my home Mac was hacked. I am still unsure how it came about from a
technical sense. However I am pretty sure that it was a PDF file that I
downloaded from a peer-to-peer program. So I deserve what I get. I should
have known better. Nevertheless my backup system is reliable and I have
contained the problem. I am still trying to understand what it was intended
to do.
There are no guarantees with any operating system. However there are ways to
limit your vulnerability. I recommend Mac's OS-X and Linux. They would cut
your chances of getting malware by 90 to 95%.
Anti-virus programs can help but only to a very limited degree. There are
many ways to keep the predators from your door even with your existing
computers. However in my experience most people don't take the time to
bother to do anything about it even when they are offered good advice. :-)
