Re: Malware, Adware and Spyware

Hwello,

On my Windows system (my laptop) I use the IPSec Filters as a sort of makeshift firewall. I use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser. And msconfig is a good friend.

I used to run things far more securely. I had created a separate user account, stripped it of most of its rights, and ran IE under that user's context, using "runas" . But it was unnecessary once I switched to Firefox. I still run my Java interpreter under that secondary username though.
