| 347593 | 2005-04-23 23:56:00 | sorry its a liitle off topic but i've heard this once to often. <rant>spyware don't get into your pc if its sitting idle on the net. no firewall can stop spyware getting INTO your pc. spyware/malware is DOWNLOADED BY USERS, even if they don't know they have done so. no firewall, turning net off, or other bull i've heard latly will stop a user downloading spyware. </rant> uh...its to stop an infested computer (trojans,virus,spyware) making use of the net access. Trust me,some people can't be saved from their own actions,no matter how tight the machine is locked down when you leave, It only takes one person to install a p2p app and disable the firewall and its all full steam ahead once again.... |

| 347595 | 2005-04-24 00:34:00 | OUCH PJ right click connection>disable. I strongly suggest to a few of my clients they do this,seeing as they constantly get spyware despite my best efforts. I do wish they had got units with on/off switches. edit. Having said that,it only applies when you want to stop net activity while using the comp for other tasks. |
