![]() ![]() ![]() I told before that best thing is to leave W7 updates behind - forever. Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine (or poison) go down. In the case of Windows 10, that is exactly what they are. If Windows 10 were the best working operating system on the planet it would be unacceptable because of property conversion, privacy issues, peer to peer use of your computer and internet access to conduct Microsoft's business at your expense, lack of respect for user choices, total ownership of all files and software on your machine, unspecified data collection with twice daily encrypted uploads of large amounts of information to Microsoft, unrestricted use of your microphone and webcam at all times your computer is on (you want that in your daughter's bedroom at night?), updates that are not updates but a vector for even more spyware officially sponsored by the computer company who should be protecting our interests, not preying upon our ignorance or misplaced trust.Įase and effectiveness of operation can be sweeteners for a trojan horse. Just because something works and is no trouble is not sufficient reason to say that the application or operating system is okay. Some malware, like Comodo firewall, actually perform a service for you while performing all the above slimey actions when you're not aware. But when you're not at the keyboard, the botnet software, which is giving you no trouble at all, is busilly passing out spam to all your friends and contacts, as well as helping distribute stolen movies, software, porn, etc. They automatically sense when you are at the keyboard and ratchet back to less than 5% or 10% of CPU resources so you can't even tell they're there. ![]() They are all protected by a master a botnet will run on your machine just fine and not inconvenience you a bit. I can let you on my machine and you have no access to my passwords. Then any hacker or intruder with actual access to your machine can start up IE on your machine and all your passwords are just handed to them gratis. One thing I hate about IE is that it will remember your passwords. IE Tab 2 will even memorize sites that need it and automatically load them into an IE Tab whenever you visit the site. I'm using Firefox and an add-in called IE Tab 2, which will encapsule an IE windows safely within the confines of Firefox for those sites which require IE. ![]()
