Computer security awareness

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Robert sent me the link through IM earlier today that he discusses in this post.

I’m impressed, this is a pretty good idea to get people to at least think about computer security. Let’s face it most home users are never going to go spend a lot of time looking at computer security articles online, so anything that can get them to spend a minute thinking about security, and the consequences of not being secure, has got to be a plus! Now if we could just get someone in the US to fund some PSA’s, maybe show ’em during the Superbowl or something.

Yeah I know, dream on..

    I saw mention of a new Windows XP Powertoy over the weekend, so when I saw SyncToy was available this morning I grabbed a copy for the XP desktop at the office. My hope was that this would ease the struggle I currently have with OneNote. Notably, I like to keep a copy of my…
