Re: A question for the group

Hello David,


They don't protect you from trojans. Trojans are named after that Greek horse that the idiots in Troy downloaded to inside their firewall.

You are correct - I used the wrong term. They protect you against worms, and direct attacks. The best protection against trojans is using your brain.


Plus de-activating "glitzware" such as extensive java scripting or players. This will cause some web sites to become impossible to navigate. However, IMHO such over-sophisticated fluff sites are usually not worth navigating anyway.
