I remember you when WIN95 came out SPCUG (and before) Fact is in WIN3.11 NAV.exe anti-Virus was included but removed from WIN95 because of competition issues with existing anti-virus companies. I do think after Vista proved to be such a stinker that many will switch to "Google Chrome OS" (Linux based) as it becomes available (overdue now) >> http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ Fact is without effective >> protection Super Broadband for Grandma, Mum, Dad, Kids, etc, can result >> in Australia being blocked as is Brazil etc for malicous behaviour. > >Cheese and chalk.

I use "br.countries.nerd.dk" You can find specific IP's here http://www.countryipblocks.net/country-blocks/select-formats/ I also use Greylisting (only allows email servers) with spamassasin (set on 5) I find most email servers react to spam reports Brazil don't in fact encourages more. I suspect it's something to do with Brazilian humour, they think spamming and virus's are funny?

Now I'm more than a little afraid... Still I suppose it was the obvious question after that lunacy. Anyone who's read any of that report, and takes it even remotely seriously, should never be allowed within a mile of a computer. |
