I'm not asking for absolutes, Shubert. I'm just trying to be as thorough as
I can in protecting my machine. I'm not so stupid as to think there are
absolutes when the patterns we see in the computing world so clearly
indicate otherwise. It doesn't sit well with me for you to suggest that I
am. But then the net isn't the only thing that ain't perfect is it? My
questions have been answered to my satisfaction. When I have more I will ask
them and I will not apologize for needing to ask to anybody. I've got enough
sense to know knowledge in this area is all relative.

George,
There are NO absolutes. Just as all firewalls and virus checkers allow
things IN, Nothing will guarantee that NOTHING gets out. Of course you
could turn off the computer, unplug the ethernet cable and that would
guarantee your request for that period of time ONLY!<grin> Sorry George, the
Net ain't perfect.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
