Actually I'm *serious* !
I personally suspect that all these "security" features are trying to
protect users from there own culpable acts.
I take responsibility for my own well being by:
1. *DISABLING* {user.js *IS* your friend}
JavaScript
Cookies
2. *NOT* using an "always live" connection
3. a local *always LIVE* firewall set to _paranoid_
4. my ISP provides some firewall and anti-virus email protection
and "other" measures
IMO, most people are not computer literate and don't know
how the internet works. My friends are always getting nasty
virus stuff because they click on everything they see.
Several of them have accidentally shared their family's
financial data and bank accounts with China.
I have been working with computers since 1977 and online
since 1987 and have never gotten any sort of virus.
I don't have an active scanner and don't get spam.
All my accounts are fake and behind multiple natted hardware
and software firewalls. Ports are locked. I use SM 1119
and have no need for the latest and greatest bloatware.
Do you at least do your web browsing under a user account and only use
the root/administrator account for doing admin tasks? NAT and/or
firewalls aren't going to protect you if you come across a malicious
web site.

Thanks Lee, I forgot to mention that.
No really good reason to use admin settings unless
doing admin stuff.
