I am a teenager , I take care of my pc pretty well , I have learnt a few things the hard way. I limited my use of file sharing programs and I really see the difference!

I take issue with the article on several counts!

1) A "Third Party Firewall" complicates your set-up? He wants us to believe that crap!If we take a straw-poll as to how many in this well-informed site are and are not using a downloaded firewall, the answer is apparent! He must be joking, that guy! The firewall is the first line of defense and he wants us to settle for a Windows?

2) In the same breath, he advises us to use encryption for safe mailing! Now, that's double standards in the extreme.

3) As always, the best course is the last one! Who did the study as to which browser is safer/safest? GOOGLE Switzerland and another research company coolly conclude that GOOGLE CHROME is way ahead of others in terms of safe browsing? I can't reach my back to pat my self, but Google can perform such miracles!
