According to a study by America Online, 89% of the computers with broadband connections are not safely configured. 91% of the computers had what AOL categorized as spyware installed. In reality, the connection method isn't the determining factor. http://www.staysafeonline.info/press/060403.pdf Although firewalls and anti-virus helps, it doesn't prevent a determined user from infecting his own system. Honeypots and passive detection systems aren't picking up the whole story. The user is an important part of evaluating the security equation.
so where is the authoritative web site <http://make-your-stinkin-windoze-system-safe.clue> to which we can point all our friends (and use to lock down our kids' machines/sites)? randy
