Hi Jim
by way of, explanation
On my way to CF
I experienced a great many DOS attacks
[Denial Of Service]
where, my then, 'vulnerable' SETTINGS
enabled a 'friend' to 'upload' some scripts
to my browser which permitted him/ her
to ALTER MY SETTINGS
and effectively DENY ME INTERNET ACCESS
including, the destruction of three IDE Drives
by overwriting the 'zero-sectors'
I have learned... to keep friends 'close'
and....
to learn from the abilities/ capablities of,
those-others...
of, less-friendly persuasion/ intent
I AM, happy that anti-virus/ firewall
will defend my system straightaway
however, it will take some while longer
to turn off the numerous 'warning pop-ups'
now, being experienced...
as a result, of, my having requested to be-informed
of any and all 'risks'
as and when they are detected/ occur
I acknowledge, that "Simple, is Easiest"
however,
Faith.... is confirmed with experience
and I am unable, to build my foundations upon sand
nor, afford
to-replace extensive investment in both
processor speed and external memory
for me, internet access,
is a career aspiration and not, JUST a hobby/ pastime
