What's that got to do with a female troll that's ready and willing to con
lesser PC literate people into listening to her scare-mongering crap drivel
and extract lots of money from them ?

They haven't? All the available evidence would suggest differently. MS's
push for more secure code only began a few years ago. And some of their
moves since have been more than a little suspect. Holding up the Address
bar patch to roll it up in a bigger patch. MS did the same thing in

April,
holding up patches to roll them together. It's only a matter of time

before
a Windows vulnerability gets leaked before MS releases a patch.

Holding up patching holes is negligent in my book.

I find that people that
make those kinds of statments have never written a single line of
code. Amazing!


I find it amazing that a person that gives their name as "Unknown," would
think anyone would take a word they say seriously.

There's nothing worse than a female trying to do a mans' job ! :-)

....especially when she doesn't have the first idea what she's talking about.

It's smelly fish like this that give genuine, NON rip-off, PC gurus a bad
name !

If your computer is a on a Windows Platform you need to disable the
Services that Windows leaves opens, for starters. Most home users
aren't using a Virtual Private Network, Mail Server, FTP Server, TCP
Server and so on. You also need to install a Firewall, whether it be
software or hardware oriented ONLY before you put your computer on the
Internet. Trojan Horses disable anti-virus and firewalls. An
anti-virus application will secure your computer to "some" degree, but
NOT unless you can secure your e-mail, browser and internet settings and

applications. Without the above security, the malicious hackers are
already abusing your computers to take down Networks, Servers, trade
drugs, guns, bo*bs, and so on.
This is only a small list of areas which deal with security, malware,
backdoors, trojan horses and more.

Are you really that naive?

a paper oriented small to medium business person, who thinks that
because they've spent £1500 on a PC package, it's going to
miraculously take over all their paperwork simply by switching it on

At the local library. Or for someone considering buying a new
computer. Or for someone reinstalling after XP goes belly up on
them. From their computer at work. From a friend's PC . . . .

Did you??

Yes, I have read posts from this group at different public
libraries. Also from work, and friend's and family member's PCs.
This OP I read from my computer, but I already know how to protect
my computer from the all the MicroHoles. This group are filled with
people stopping by that may not realize that something running in
the background that they never need may be making their computers
less secure.


And so, before anyone buys a computer they must go to the library and
read. The world doesn't work that way.


Who said anything about "must?" You. Who limited this to people that are
buying new computers? You.

People should turn-off sh*t that they really don't need or ever use.
Whether it's when they first get there computer, after doing a clean
install, after cleaning up after being plagued with viruses, worms,

spyware,
or whatever and whenever.

I'd want to be "Unknown" too, if I had your lack reasoning ability, or are
you just being purposefully dense?
