Re: Antivirus
yes there was Jambutty, Mac or Linux, job done!
now down to details
you seem obsessed with E-gold, I must say i know of no one else that uses it. Sorry, but you shouldn't consider one site or anyother, you should say 'any financial site'
secondly, you don't need spyware/malware scanners if you don't install any crappy software, I have a basic windows install with 'trusted'(as in I know it has no issues) software installed. Thats all that gets on there and I have Zero issues with spyware/malware.
Passwords, you can have massively secure passwords, but they are quite simply not memorable, so you need a tool to do it for you. JUST HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW HOW SECURE ROBOFORM ARE??? millions of users does not mean its secure, look at windows users as an example of this.
you start trying to scare people about mail daemons, yet I doubt you know much about them at all. I have one email address, I have no problems whatsoever, its not an issue to have 1, its about social engineering and not falling foul to it
Your 'alternatives' are quite simply a pain in the bum and as such people won't use them, THATS WHY WE AS IT PRO's DO UAT(User acceptance testing) to see just what users will put up with or not.
I really don't want to sound pompous but you really don't know what you are talking about here, your 'info' just adds confusion and noise to an important discusion, please don't make it any harder for people fo who a computer is a strange and wonderful device.
I'm happy for anyone to email/pm me directly if they want advice about making PCs more secure.(and may I point out that this would actually cost a lot of money if it was done as a business)
