Now days our computers are so fast that if a program like F-Secure slows it down, you can easily speed it up with hardware. Well worth the trade-off.

The only thing i care is that this anti-virus can protect me from sploit packs and zeus and shit. And thats enough for me. F-Secure may slow down your windows, but hey, i dont care.

I'm glad you understand the problem <em>and</em> have taken action. Many people understand the problem but do the worst possible thing... procrastinate.

No, that person wasn't from our hosting, it was from a Google search I did. How easy and stupid is that? You're right, our hosting prevents directory browsing, so that .htaccess code isn't really necessary; however, I know of some pretty well known web hosts that don't disable it automatically, so when in doubt, just add it. <em>Re: how I've been</em> I've been well. Pretty darn busy to be honest. I'm about to launch a new product but I'm not ready just yet to talk too much about it. The family is well... we just had my son's 4th birthday party and that was fun.

I thought that it was a default setting to have directory listed disabled. But, I add it to my .htaccess file anyway! Plus, spending less than $100 a year you can buy some nice VPN software, to help encrypt your traffic when you are using a "free" wifi. Oh yeah, and I think I have seen an article like the NY one at least once a year and it is always 123456 or 12345, amazing.. If the site can't handle long passwords, I try to get people to use a sentence, so capital's, spaces and some numbers too if they can. Easy to remember, and more secure against brute force attacks. How have you been anyway? I have been disconnect lately, .-= Jim Gaudet´s last blog ..<a href="http://thejimgaudet.com/earthquakes-are-rocking-costa-rica/">Earthquakes are Rocking Costa Rica</a> =-.
