If a school admin is dumb enough to give a user admin/power-user access to the network, then so be it on his/her own head IMHO!

199293 2003-12-11 20:13:00 Slug A very apt description of IE. Slow and leaves a trail every where it goes, soft and vulnerable.

Slugged What happens to your system if you use IE:

a) Unpatched.

b) Without appropriate firewall and antivirus programs.

c) Left with the default security and advanced settings.

See computer maintenance FAQ's

I have shut down my Zone Alarm but still unable to go further.

We were power users. Why would they give us that much power on the network? Because they could trust us. They knew we didn't want to screw around with things much.

There were only 28 students though. That might make a difference.
