Robert, LMAO! Since your first item isn't achievable (make sure Windows is secure), then you are really saying don't ever attach a Windows box to the Internet. Very subtle sarcasm. But, I like.
>From a serious point of view, my suggestion is to never directly attach to the Internet ANY computer without a simple router/firewall in between. This will resolve over 99% of these so-called issues. So, I have taken a new Windows installed box, attached it to my home LAN behind my firewalled/router. And I have had it complete all of its hours of Windows updates without ever having any issues with it becoming infected. And I have done this with numerous Windows boxes. Nary an infection one. As to Frank de Groot's heavy-handed anti-piracy fixation demanding that to use his Moyo Go software, I must allow his software higher permissions than I give any other software, he don't get my respect...nor my money. He might have a great tool (and from what I can see from afar, he does). However, his imposed costs diminish the overall value to the point where it is beneath my threshold of acceptance. Should he change his approach to be much more respectful (and perhaps his medical condition makes this impossible - it still doesn't change my evaluation for me and my computers), I will likely change my position and purchase a copy of his tool/DB.

It was a pain to get that straightened out. The correct order is to first make Windows and the harddisk secure, only then connect to the internet (for downloading the updates or whatever). -- robert jasiek _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
