Now they're targeting photographers?! grrrrr.... I used to not worry about security until one too many spyware programs(i think that's what it was) crashed my PC. I just picked up a PC Magazine(Nov. 22, 05') with a special report on security. It's insane the lengths one must go to to secure their computer(s). I've spent the last few days working on this computer here...and I still have a ways to go b4 I do everything as recommended in the magazine. It takes alot of time and above average level of computing saviness to do it correctly. Required downloads and updates can take forever on a slow dial up connection. Installing software, running scans all the time, performing special configs and the list goes on....Even after taking every precaution there's still risk of being hacked or infested. It is unfortunate a few malicious people make life more difficult for everyone on the Internet, except maybe for the Internet security software vendors who profit from selling security suites and subscriptions.
