Here is a great article about the short comings of your on-line security and some small changes that you can make to protect your money and stuff.

Bill P,

Thanks for the link. I was brainstorming with a Java expert (a cousin's husband) a few years ago & he was doing plenty of implying that Windows was the most insecure platform. After seeing some of the recent news releases about Java including this link: http://blogs.computerworld.com/malw...other-java-security-flaw-discovered-number-53 I am pretty sure we have to vigilant on most wide area network (WAN) activity regardless of interop facilitator.

At a not too long ago Town Hall Meeting our brand new Congressman who was defeated in November running for Senate ... I visited with his top state staff person ... about not encouraging electronic transactions as the only only viable option. To my astonishment he actually said "the sooner the better" All too often as soon as someone tries to make a point about "all eggs in one basket" like I tried to explain in my YouTube Video ... there is a tendency to label that person as being anti-technology ... which is often the farthest thing from the truth.
