You don't seem to understand the situation. If you "allow" the above
to happen, you will be sending out viruses, trojans, all types of
malware, because your machine will probably turned into a 'bot' by
some of that malware. You will not only be responsible for infecting
god knows how many other machines, but if your ISP has a half of a
brain, you'll end up tossed from their system.
How can you say "...there's nothing important there..." and then say
you're worried sending out "...private, personal, important etc.
information?"
You need an education in exactly what can happen to an infected
machine. An infected machine can end up little else than a doorstop.
There are a myriad of scenarios as to what happens to an infected
machine. You *really* need a general, basic education on the subject.
