this just out.........my ass is cracked! is that a flaw?
anyways who cares? there will always be exploits. it is the steps you take to ensure your own PC security that matter. whining about another exploit or security flaw is just a waste of time better saved for a rant thread. just be thankful that the information gets posted here so you can see what steps you need to take to protect yourself.
and yes Techman i totally agree with you. i run an external firewall, my WRT54G takes care of all that. the reason i have always done that is if my machine got compromised, how could i be sure that the software firewall was not corrupted as well? not to mention they are resource hogs and i dont do anything but game on my machine so there is no sense in having something eat up my system resources. Firefox does a good enough job on its own in that department LOL
well actually I was forced to use ICS as of yesterday when Comcast came over and installed VOIP phone service. They changed the modem understandably but then the modem would only communicate with my one comp. I was on the phone with both Comcast and Linksys and their only thought is the two are incompatible. So I have to make the wireless computer (which I do secure my wireless network) communicate with the router then route through my computer to the modem. Never wanted to do it in the first place but I was kinda forced to
