    [...] one can not use an antivirus program on a daily basis and still be sure that they do not have a virus by checking against trend micro house call. [...] 5. Periodically scan system using HouseCall and Spybot or AdAware.

    So if it runs as activex or java applet in your browser it doesn't count as "using antivirus software" anymore? Nice try. Try again.

  7. Re:Swindle? on Microsoft to Buy Anti-Virus Software Firm · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or you could go to Symantec's site and use their online ActiveX virus scanner.

    Why does "ActiveX virus scanner" sound like an oxymoron?

  8. Finally on Microsoft to Buy Anti-Virus Software Firm · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is going to add anti-virus and anti-spyware software to windows? Does that mean we finally get a (real) uninstall function for Internet Explorer and Media Player?

  9. Re:Swindle? on Microsoft to Buy Anti-Virus Software Firm · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't use antivirus software and have never gotten a virus yet.

    I guess you also have no mirror, but know you look great?

    Perhaps they just chose IE to prevent their Army Of Lamers overflooding the Netscape Support forums.

    How could it be standalone when it uses the (already installed, I guess) Internet Explorer rendering engine?

    It has gone into mouse, menu and other shaddows, appearance effects and such crap. I thought I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a Window minimizing on MacOS X for the first time.

  16. Advice on Shmoo Group Finds Exploit For non-IE Browsers · · Score: 0

    You should never go to an important site like a homebanking webapp by clicking on links (from Emails or unknown Webpages). Just type them into the address bar by hand or use bookmarks created by yourself.

  17. Re:Distribution Names on Debian Project Nominations Opened · · Score: 0

    I repeat it: one package had not all dependencies set it needed and the other had some which could not be fulfilled ... (but it was the one which I needed to make the first runable). I don't say that this is the common case, but it happened to me.

    I didn't trust Kazaa, I won't trust Skype. Kazaa disqualified a long time ago with all that spyware it brought with. And Skype ... how naive could someone be to thrust these people again?

    What is this? First you tell me that it's not broken, then you tell me that I can't use apt-get...

    I've used Debian Sid some years ago, and once I needed an additional package. It did install and (due to dependencies) updated an other package, In which some dependency was missing, so it didn't work. I figured out what other package it should have depended on and tried to install it, but couldn't because this package had dependencies which couldn't be fulfilled. That's what I call broken. It might not happen that often, but when it does its really annoying.

    Your suggestion about holding packages back until I really need a never Version might be good but is still something I would regard as a workaround.

    Today I use Debian stable + backports.org and had never again such problems.
