-Caveat Lector-
well- if it was all installed (as advised) together then it would be false
positive city - as well being *more* than enough information to protect
yourself with. the advice in the series of postings is *sometimes* sound-
but more confusing than ever for a newbie looking to secure his/ her puter
and there is something tabloidy and scaremongery about it that smells fishy
:)
if you want a secure puter get ONE firewall and ONE virus checker. nothing
more is needed to stop anything coming in the way.
the biggest threat to anyone is a remote administration tool (RAT) that can
control your puter from afar- one of the true computer conspiracies last
year was the obscuring by the media of the fact that the "i love you" virus
was a small server for a RAT- bad for confidence in ecommerce if everyone
and his brother is open all hours, y'know?
RATs themselves are generally swept under the carpet and are portrayed as
possible urban myth.
as byron mentions- SUBSEVEN is the most popular and most sophisticated-
everyone should try it- until you have been hit by someone using subseven
against you- you haven't felt insecure online LOL
it is scarey. but nothing a firewall can't deal with.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
