I read all the posts in this thread and others. What's more, I have no
security software installed whatsoever and prefer not to. I have never had a virus. I would completely disregard advice to install security software. You appear to believe all problems are caused by viruses or malware. The OP has every right to consider advice as being non relevant and seek other ideas or suggestions. If you said jump in the lake to a group of people, why would you get disturbed if they don't do it? I.E. Why do you think only your side of the coin is correct? "Gerry" wrote in message ... Unknown That point of view is quite reasonable in most situations. However, if you studied past posts to this thread and another you might start to appreciate the other side of the coin. When advice has been freely given, to ask for further advice on the basis that previous advice is put to one side as not relevant is going a step too far. This is especially so when the other person is disregarding advice to install security software where there is none. It is my choice not to offer further advice just as the other person has the choice not to accept advice. Feel free to offer advice to someone who doesn't appreciate the importance of making adequate security arrangements and expects you to help resolve a problem with the way his computer works. -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unknown wrote: Haven't you ever asked for advice just to get other opinions or ideas?

... I read all the posts in this thread and others. What's more, I have no security software installed whatsoever and prefer not to. I have never had a virus. I would completely disregard advice to install security software. Perhaps you are above average, Unknown, but the average user would be unwise to run a PC without any protection. As I'm sure you are aware, an awful lot of posters here have malware issues. Then again, had they been more sophisticated, their chances of downloading and installing the malware would have decreased significantly. That means not opening malicious e-mail attachments or visiting dicey sites and clicking on advertisements for rogue programs. But the average user is not that sophisticated! Besides, I'm sure you *are* running some security software; Windows Firewall would fit into this category. |
