Keep the Evil Off Your Box

Corporations do not have the money in their budgets to worry too much about your safety right now. (OY! The cross continental flights.)

But what gets me most is the computer stuff. I actually do like Internet Explorer and even though this is the most vulnerable browser on earth, I want to keep using it.

But strange back door things can do what strange back door things do—which is poke around in your junk and find your passwords, etc.

So do this one thing---all the time, whenever you can. After you are done browsing around (and especially after you have gone to your banking or credit card sites), go to Tools>Internet Options>Browsing History>Delete>Delete all.

This kills all cookies, all history, all form data and all passwords. All the time.

This simple action, taken after a heavy period of surfing will delete the spies, will keep your wife from knowing what porn sites you go to and most importantly removes all your stored personal information and passwords. Keep your browser clean and empty.

Also, for 2009: Have you backed up this year’s pictures onto disks?

And your files, all your files, are they backed up to an external hard drive? Please do it, today.

Happy, healthy computer days to all. And a brilliant, bold, well supported and donkey kicking 2009 to everyone.
