And so, before anyone buys a computer they must go to the library and read.
The world doesn't work that way. "kurttrail" wrote in message ... Unknown wrote: "kurttrail" wrote in message ...

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. Geeeeeze! You don't know anything about business management either. Making decisions based solely on profit margin, instead of doing what's right. Yeah, I know MS's business management theory. Luckily, not all businesses are run so devoid of ethics. -- Peace!

But most important: Set your system clock !
"Tracker" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... 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. Tracker |
