Hi Joe
Joe The Know? wrote: FOR THE LAZY... I personally think it's *great* that someone offers sound net security advice ( I do it at work all the time), but it should be done in such a way that doesn't UNFAIRLY undermine someones work. And yes, if you're too lazy and ignorant to update your viruscanner definitions and don't run even a basic up-to-date firewall in this day and age - then suffer the consequences, don't hijack someone's efforts to do something constructive and useful with your neurosis and paranoia...... Heroes go to war and gets the medals post mortem the others will cash benefits after the war is over this was not the point nobody is paranoiac, I receive per day 50 mails and at least 10 are rejected as infected , and some are blocked inside by Norton some viruses are new nobody knows altruist Massimo that comes out from nowhere and offers you to register an .exe file... for your bonsai's.... The intention is excellent but sounds fishy I am a very active person in the Italian & french Bonsai site and I never sow Massimo there , as being also in Italian the program , would be supposed to offered there first ... well nobody is prophet in his homeland I know ... scalded cats scare cold water , is said and nowadays we always have to be careful and is not bein paranoic but just to to be careful means to have common sense ... just my two cents FOR THE NEUROTIC (or just plain bored like me)...... Scanned by Norton Antivirus (definitions 11/11/04) - No Virus Threat Detected Zonealarm and Sygate reports- No trojan like activity, no asking to 'phone home', no opening of ports, no browser hi-jacking, no adware, nor any attempted outgoing TCP or UDP connections....are we dead yet?

Only those who are so dumb they don't keep their virus and spyware programs up to date Virus definitions and suchlike are always 'out of date'. Computer security companies don't issue updates until after they have discovered a vulnerability. How could they?
