We keep looking for the perfect virus detector and firewall, while constantly scanning with Spybot or other spyware/malware removal tools being sold on the market. With all of the money spent on such software to protect our PCs, we seem to be gaining very little ground.
Perhaps the solution to the problem is not more and better Security software, but rather, MUCH STRICTOR FEDERAL LAWS, designed to be a MAJOR deterrent. What ever it takes to get it on the books, WE NEED a Federal Law making it a Mandatory 1 year Prison Sentence for each Computer infested, damaged, or illegally entered. Each year for each Computer vandalized, would have to be served consecutively. NOW THAT WOULD BE A REAL DETERRENT!
A special $20 tax for each new computer, could then help fund a FBI Special Task Force, equipped to track down and arrest Spyware, Malware, Trojan, Hackers, and any other Malicious software designers, and put them in Prison for a very, very long time. In a very SHORT TIME, we would have REAL Security.
