Most windows breaches are due to third party software or the browser...so strictly speaking it isn't the pc being compromised.
Not sure what you are trying to say. If you want to say that an Oracle vulnerability isn't a Windows vulnerability, you are right. So in that respect, if you subscribe to Secunia or Vulnwatch, most vulnerabilities are indeed in non-OS software. If you want to say that Microsoft patches that are needed on a very regular basis are due to third party software, I will respectfully disagree. And if it is an Internet Explorer problem, that is a Windows OS problem - the two are inextricably linked on purpose. I don't believe that Safari and the iPhone are inextricably linked. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
