That is fine.. I am a bit like you... That is all i want to too.. There are any users out there that not do run a virus checker, firewall etc... which in my mind is a little crazy.. altho some of them don't know.. that is what i have found when i am out there fixing computers.. most of them being windoze have virus... etc
I also think to that it is also up to the ISP to mention such things.. or even give links to a firewall (ZoneAlarm) or even a virus scanner (InoculateIT)... there are lots of free ones out there that do the job for personal use. > I would disagree, all I want from an ISP is a connection, bandwidth and > email.
