After the funny behavior of the past couple of days, I was reminded of something important. Both Scot and I have tried to encourage safe practices among our friends so as not to run into many of the nasty situations users encounter (often with monotonous regularity). It was at this point I came across Scot's comment of some years ago that still applies today: "The biggest computer security problem is that most people still don't realise that safe computing and surfing habits are much more important and effective than even the best antivirus and other security programs." http://local.nu/HelpDesk/index.php/Basics_of_safe_computing Are your practices this careful? Admittedly I have had trouble at times (yesterday's news page problem was caused at moreover.com), or more inclined to browse blindly on with the protection of anti-spyware etc until something goes terribly wrong? Can you look over your own shoulder? What might you see if you could? -- Regards, John Durham <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> ICQ number 497166248 Fax/Phone 64 4 5286786 Award winning web site at http://modecideas.com?sig Terms of trade at http://modecideas.com/lvl22.html?sig Order my novel (RETURN) at http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1382737 PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied. -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
