planet join:2001-11-05 Oz kudos:1	reply to imtim83 said by imtim83: What do you all think ? Are we all paranoid people because we visit this forum or even read it? Hmmm..I considered myself informed. Others, especially in my family consider me paranoid.. It's funny. I own an IPad too which isn't software FW (behind router) or AV protected but I use a windows pc or a linux live cd to do sensitive stuff. As far as a Mac is concerned, I'm more paranoid because I'm not certain of how to or if there are adequate tools for securing it properly.

That why we need to all get a Windows 8 Pro Tablet so we can install all our x86 programs on it for our security! That plus Firefox and all our addons finally on a tablet!

DrStrange Technically feasible Premium join:2001-07-23 West Hartford, CT kudos:1	reply to imtim83 Internet security is the only area where paranoia ceases to be a psychiatric disorder and becomes a useful survival trait. On the Internet, there really are people out to get you, everywhere. Keep calm and carry on.

The rest of us are just trying to stay ahead of any potential problems. Actually like yourself. I never said anyone was. Speak for yourself. Since paranoia is defined as "suspicion and mistrust of people or their actions without evidence or justification" and this forum documents evidence and justification for concern almost daily, it's a silly question.

Blackbird Built for Speed Premium join:2005-01-14 Fort Wayne, IN kudos:3 Reviews: ·Frontier Communi..	reply to imtim83 Because the meaning of "paranoia" (irrational concern) revolves around "irrational", whether one is paranoid or not is determined by whether their concerns are rational. A few parts of the Internet world are very ugly, and there are malicious folks out there... just as there are in other areas of life. Keeping rational about one's concerns always includes keeping correctly informed about the topics of concern... both to avoid needless risks, and to avoid over-reaction to more trivial or less-likely risks. To me, that is a major purpose of security forums - to keep informed while maintaining perspective about things that affect one's security. With time and experience, what thoughts and opinions are truly "rational" in such forum threads will become clear... -- "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!" -- P.Henry, 1775

La Luna Survived Ashraful Premium join:2001-07-12 Warwick, NY kudos:3	reply to imtim83 Visiting this forum and keeping informed is what keeps me FROM being paranoid. Security on computers is and always will be fluid, so it pays to try to stay ahead.
