Hi all, I'm new to this game so please bear with me. When I do my monthly
backup to disc I see loads of small (1kb - 100kb) files (type: XML Document)
attributed to PCHealth. These seem to be some type of config files. What
are they and do I need to keep them? Thanks.

Ok. So this tells me how PCHealth may be vulnerable to attack, now can you
tell me what the saved XML documents are for, do I need to keep them and if
so for how long? Thanks.
