[gui-talk] Questions

[Mike Freeman]

Debby:

Actually, there's no perfect package. Spybot Search and Destroy isn't bad 
but I believe PC Magazine says it misses some stuff. Frankly, almost any 
package misses some stuff.

Now, the only package on my system is Microsoft Security Essentials and I 
like it because it stays more-or-less out of the way. Moreover, I have come 
to the conclusion that Internet privacy is largely an illusion anyway and 
what with Microsoft Security Essentials and the anti-spam features in 
Internet Explorer 8, my computer is protected about as well as it's going to 
be. So I no longer use Spybot S&D, AddAware or any other package. I'm just 
*very* careful what websites I visit and allow *no* pop-ups except at 
trusted sites for the most part and have been satisfied with the results. Oh 
yes; an occasional cookie might leak through but, as I say, privacy has been 
an illusion for nigh on forty years so I don't worry about it.

And lest anyone ask, the only times my identity has ever been stolen were 
when I lost my walet with credit cards. I'm not counting spammers who spoof 
me; my computer has no malware because it's been off for the most part when 
the spoofers did their thing. It would be a minor miracle to have stuff sent 
from a computer that's OFF! (grin)

Mike
