    Well worth watching. And noteworthy that he does not mention added anti-malware software at all. Simply not needed in most cases.

    An excellent presentation!

    Thank you. :-)

    Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

    They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

    *ONE* setting to make any device more secure ... never switch it on! ;-)

    Spackle! If there is a port to anywhere outside the computer, spackle
    over it. Power, USB, Ethernet, ventilation openings, the works; spackle
    over it.

    Disclosure: I got this from John McAfee, when he was still a funny guy,
    many years before he became strange and dangerous and insane and an international fugitive and dead. He ran a dialup BBS in Santa Clara, California, and threw monthly pizza parties for his BBSers. Too bad what
    he became eventually.

    But saves electricity as well. ;-)

    Plus, it will continue doing what it's doing indefinitely, without
    needing to install constant updates. ;-)

    True.

    Plus, it will continue doing what it's doing indefinitely, without
    needing to install constant updates. ;-)

    And would improve Usenet if some did that.
