Internet, she is asked "Application FooBizBan is attempting to access the Internet. Do you wish to allow this?"
If she recognizes the application as one she's just started, she knows to allow it.
but if this app is filled with a virus, she allows a virus...
True, which is why she also uses up-to-date virus protection as well.
"Up-to-date virus protection", no matter how you look at it, is *reactive*. Not worth a crud. Useless. etc. The use of anything M$, is the same *because* of that.
Trolling is not an effective means of discussion, JB2.
You meant to write 'I have no definitive answer for that because it makes too much sense, so instead I will call you a troll because it's the best I can do at the moment'. There, fixed it for you.
Um, no, you were saying (or I read) "If you use Microsoft, you get what you deserve", which is unhelpful, antagonistic, and completely beside the point. To me, that's a textbook definition of trolling. And something I probably would best have been advised to ignore outright. What can I say? Sometimes I get baited.
Now, if you want to continue with the discussion that I simply got in on with everyone else who is also in on, fine, but if you have to whine like this, you've lost already and show what an ass you can simply be. My addition(s) to this discussion are as relevant as anyone elses have been. Why is it others can bring up 'viruses and protecting against them', but I can't?
Look, there's no need to get personal. I apologise if my use of 'troll' was offensive to you. It sure looked like you were trolling, and let's face it, you and I don't exactly see eye to eye on anything we've talked about on the list. So let's return to being civil to each other and discussing the issues and stop attacking each other. Deal?
