You probably are. Get Zonealarm for a firewall and be done with it. It's also free. As for viruses (virii?), do NOT open any unsolicited attachements, use a mail tool that stops scripting upfront (Thunderbird is a good one), do not load pirated software or "warez" or other stupidity like that, and you'll be more than adequately protected. As for spyware, download AdAware (once again: free) and clean up your system. Use a proper browser (Firefox), not that Microsoft security sieve. Bingo: no more problems.

Wanna break these rules and give yourself a warm feeling you're safe if you spend money in unnecessary products? No worries, your choice. But stop running Oracle in such a system.

Don't. All those "security products" are nothing more nothing less than expensive substitutes for what you can do yourself. Received on Sat Nov 13 2004 - 05:22:57 CST
