"I did mention that, in the last paragraph of the “Four steps to protect your computer” section."

Gawd, you're right, I'm a goose.

“What about ensuring that your FFN runs as non-admin? That would be an excellent step, but a lot of software written for the home market still requires being an admin to install and run ... "

The Magic Schoolbus problem as one (Microsoft?) person described it.

Not that this always works, you would think that application packagers would have got it right by now. But no.

Thanks for calling by Lucy. It varies, I've seen periods from 14 days to never. Depends on what is being protected. And the risk that someone will write their password down if it is a short interval.

Ashley
Think I prefer the radio, but it was good never the less.

Cazzie
I have a love/hate relationship with ABC Radio. Most of the broadcasters are leftist, and I tend to have a right-wing view of the world.
