In response to this subject, I think we all have an obligation to fulfill. In reality, we are only responsible for our own cybersecurity. However, I believe we have a moral responsibility to travel the information superhighway with caution. For our own safety as well as everyone else surfing the net. Compare this to driving your car on the road. If we practice safe driving habits we are not only safer ourselves but so are the other motorists around us. You can think of the speed-demons and drunk drivers as the cyber criminals wreaking havoc. We all need to have good security software on our computers needless to say but that alone is not enough. We need to promote safer surfing habits and educate people on a mass scale. There are tons of people on the Internet and reading email hap-hazard thinking just because they have antivirus or antispyware software they are invincible. They are sadly mistaken, as you are well aware. I think a "Safer Surfing" section in one or all of the newsletters would be great.
P.S. - On registry tools - Registry Mechanic is pretty good and actually does do good. Also the registry tools in Tune-up Utilities and System Mechanic work exceptionally well and for the price you are better going with one of those cause you get a lot of other useful tools with it. I can say that VIPRE consumer and Enterprise plays well with all 3 of them. All of the free registry fixers are about useless and really do nothing beneficial. At least not enough to bother installing them. Kind of like the free AV and here again is where educating people comes to play. Fixing and/or cleaning your registry is not going to fix all of your problems and keep your computer from crashing. That's just a bogus selling angle. -- Tim Gardner, ODI Consulting, Inc.
