A Note On Microsoft Security

Monday, May 25th, 2009

I've been reading a lot of postings to various message boards, newsgroups and talkback boards on how evil Microsoft (often spelled as Micro$oft or more simply M$) is. The foam-at-the- mouth rantings after the publication on anything even remotely related to that company are nauseatingly predictable. The argument goes something like this: Microsoft is equated with everything evil and foul in the world. Lucifer himself is kind and gentle compared with Bill Gates, and every product ever produced ...

What is a security certificate?

Monday, May 25th, 2009

I'll bet one time or another you've surfed the web and suddenly found a pop-up window in front of you, demanding your approval for a security certificate.

What the heck is a security certificate? And whatever it is, why is the browser asking me about it? I mean, I had enough questions about ActiveX controls, now I was being asked ...

I don't know about you, but I find banner ads pretty darn obnoxious. Now, I do understand that the foundation upon which the internet is built is, pure and simple: advertising. That's what makes the internet work, and that's why it was growing so fast. It's interesting to see companies fold as advertising falls short of expectations. I hate those ugly banner ads (especially that "punch the monkey" thing). They steal my bandwidth and they take room from content. Think about it, you have a 10k ...

On the other hand, if you are a surfer, you may want to disable this feature as it can be a security risk and a violation of your privacy. What is this referrer thingie? Well, all web servers have the capability to create log files and virtually all web masters (at least those who know what they are doing) use these logs to determine how their web site is doing.

If you spend a lot of time on the internet and you are not behind a firewall, then you are living on borrowed time. Putting some protection between you and the internet is probably the third most important thing that you can do (after getting virus checking software and performing regular backups).
