Very educational, Gerard!

Thanks. Lately I was just looking for more info about phishing; this 'quiz' (http://survey.mailfrontier.com/survey/phishing_uk.html) gave me a few pointers and some insight in the process.
Comes to show again that security isn't just about 'running the most/best applications'... it's all about knowledge; the will and ability to search for and obtain it, added to that: a fair amount of..common sense!
Keep on learning.

Now there is some real wisdom.

Stay aware!
