| 460794 | 2006-06-05 16:49:00 | I have a neighbor who insists that the following is true...and it sounds sorta reasonable..but I just don't know: He states that in order to get a "pipeline" connection while using IE, and for purposes of security, he goes to the Windows Update, and while it's loading up the page, he hits ESC to stop it, and then types in whatever URL he needs and then hits ENTER. He avows that this allows him to use MicroSoft's servers with the added security of not going out into the general IE arena. Is this at all possible? Could he be using Mr. Bill's servers as his own personal pipeline and keep hackers and trojans at bay? :confused: |
