We can never be too care full, because we never know who is keeping an eye on what we do and say.

Don’t give the bad guys ideas. Do you know how many would click the button even with something malicious attached?

Umm... this is satire, right?

If your computer is off... it’s off. Your hard disks require electricity to run. If the computer is off, regardless of network connectivity, nothing can be read or written, even sleep-state RAM.

Remember to shut down the internet before you log off.

Well there is some truth to this is you use an always-on broadband connection. Even if you log off your Windows session, your connection is still active if you leave your computer on most of the time like I do. That's why you should have some kind of firewall software installed, up-to-date and running all the time.

I've been running Microsoft Essentials for about a year now and have been satisfied with it. It's a combined firewall, anti-virus and anti-malware package. And it's free from Microsoft.

LOL! Bump! I shut down the Internet. Hope I didn’t interrupt anyone’s surfing.
