Re: Call me paranoid...
Ok, you are paranoid...
but I agree. Just because I am paranoid, that doesn't mean someone isn't out to get me. |

| Very very true.
I've never had a virus, trojan or any other malware at home. My machines are well protected and my users (Mrs. Mospaw and me) are well educated.
Would this be the same without the hardware routers and software firewall? Perhaps. But for the effort and cost, they're both very good insurance.
Of course, a counter argument can be made. To use an analogy: I live in Florida. I keep a banana in my ear. We don't have any penguins. It's obviously the banana in my ear keeping penguins away. |

I agree.
Just because because I'd rather find out from the firewall that someone is out to get me[trying to break in], then have the system get compromised. |
