It's not him, it's some pimply-faced kid he hires for the weekend to watch the storage facility. The kid isn't supposed to be surfin at all, but on a sunday afternoon the customer traffic there is so slow that the kid legitimately doesn't have anything to do. I'm not even sure why there is internet on that computer to begin with (I didn't do the initial install) since the computer is so vital to the operation as it does billing and gate access. LOL

The root of the problem is lack of user education. Tell him about http://youporn.com, and warn him not to click on any of the advertising links. Then tell him to do this using Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Then install VMWare workstation (free download) and put a Linux distro in it. Tell him to run that when looking for porn. If he does come against a bad site, it most likely won't infect his Linux guest because it was certainly written to affect Windows, and it won't affect Windows because it has no access to it. Or, make him a live cd that he can boot up and browse porn sites to his content, with no fear that his hard drive can become infected with adware, spyware, or other nasties. Make sure you give him a roll of paper towels, toilet paper, or at least some coffee filters to go along with the porn-safe package. ;) Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
