Re: [Full-disclosure] Hacked: Who Else Is Using Your Computer?

If someone came and made themselves a polite guest I wouldn't mind. In fact a pretty open computer protects me from lots of things. "Well you see I have an open system and I have no ideas how those objectionable, questionable, illegal things got here." I mean that has seemed to work well as a defense for lots of sysadmins I knew,;)

That was the big problem I had with fully open systems which was keeping down the amountof questionable clutter that would accumulate. It was always a bit of an effort.

I dunno that original message did sound like an advert by some anti-virus company. However castlecops are. I mean giggle sounds like someone who protects things for that creepy burger king guy. Gack they did revive trhe king thing!!!

Have Fun,
Sends Steve

Nah -- I do agree this article is in the wrong board, and I love finding new ways to let others use my computer without my permission :)

I'm sorry but it looks like it was written for someone whos never used
a computer,



hehehe agreed. I had flagged Laudanski's stuff for filtration as it is rather light-weight; but some of the articles are worth a giggle or two. Esp the link to firefox with "Browse Safely" above it. Perhaps "Browse-a-bit-safer" would be more appropriate Paul. ;/

This article reminds me of pamphlets or self-help tapes for out-of-touch parents to "communicate with your teenager today! (tm)". You know; the ones that inevitably cover how kids talked and acted in the 80's but published in the 90's. (etc, etc) >;/
