    Do you expect/enjoy html access to the internet from your firewalled machines?

    If so, then the firewall cannot be solid. The vast majority of infections come in through port 80.


    With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
