M$ is the goose, they lay eggs.
We provide the gold to feed the goose.
McA and Sym collect a share of the harvest.
We get the fertiliser.

Now, isn't that a beautiful balance?

Please help to preserve this stability by paying up and shutting up. :D

Everybody could get on and get their work done and play their games without interuption and at less cost to the economies of the world. ;)

Windows is already secure; there are so many security programs for Windows that it's locked down tight. ;)

535226 2007-03-24 05:37:00 mmm absolutely. Probably why the third party security apps sell so well. ;):p winmacguy (3367)
535227 2007-03-24 05:44:00 Yer its secure alright if its not on the net and if u dont update it.

If it was so secure, people wouldnt be posting hjt logs and using programs like Symantec (which seems to pop up nearly everytime), when someone posts a log), they should put it under rogue software. It says it does this and that, when it fact it doesnt do anything.

But cost you money.
