Remember the good old days when all you really needed for security was some anti-virus software? Not any more. You've got to make sure you have good, regularly updated anti-virus software, and then you obviously need some anti-spam software or you'll never be able to find your real email. Plus, anyone without a personal firewall application is just asking for trouble. Oh, and don't forget those anti-spyware/adware programs to make sure none of that stuff sneaks by...

Probably not ... until some of the b*&$#?!s making life miserable are publicly hung. You know, pour encourager les autres.

An old fasnioned public hanging might make a pretty strong statment. ;)

I don't use anti-spam software, and I think the whole genre is totally lame. I also don't have a spam problem.

Never had an adware or spyware problem, either. No, I don't have either installed without my knowing.

There used to be "a sucker born every minute"; I think that figure must have gone up since that quote was first made.
