... Hi. That's because it's an update number from the system (which numbers everything it does). IF you're on the https://www.e-gold.com site (with proper cert. see Jay's recent post) you are safe, but ONLY if you've avoided clicking on various spammed atttachments which WILL put keystroke loggers on a computer. (BTW, from the level of sendings of the worm described here days ago at: http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/cgi-bin/virauto.cgi?vid=26784 I can report that the general state of computer security out there hovers from "dismal" to "abysmal.") Anyway, you can create one account or one thousand, but if your computer was compromised when you used the e-gold site then your e-gold will be insecure. More accounts are not an adequate substitute for computing securely in the first place, so if you think a computer is insecure I'd suggest making it secure *before* using e-gold on it.
