Re: [TWC] spyware invasion

You are so right. Safe browsing habits are the best defense, but too many people don't use caution on the web. That's why all these security products have a market. Before the web, there were boot sector viruses that traveled from one computer to another via sneaker net. The safe practice then was to avoid putting strange floppies into your drive, and to write-protect any floppy that you carried to another computer.
It was a simpler world, but computers still got infected.
