| 168178 | 2003-08-18 05:38:00 | > Where have I gone wrong then? Is it just luck? To a certain extent, I believe, but mostly by practicing safe surfing and internet habits. Like you, I have had very few problems (touchwood) but I still arm myself with heavy artillery just in case. Anyway, how does tweak'e know for sure that the pc's he cleans out have been surfing sensibly? ;-) |

| 168181 | 2003-08-18 23:42:00 | comon its not hard to check through where someone has been surfing exspecially if they use IE. the catch however is what do you call surfing sensibly? ;-) i suspect the reason godfather is leftout of the fun is he has enough brains to actually read whats hes installling and the amazing ability to click "no" when asked "do you whish to install XXX dailer?" :-) strangly enough some of the worse sites for ramming activeX installed software (eg spyware/dailers) down your gob seems to be kids gameing sites :( unforunatly the ones who really need to use firewalls are the ones who have no idea what a firewall/spyware/trogen is which kinda makes it a catch 22. |

No more pop ups and no more Active X problems. ;-) |
