For someone who has only ever used an Amiga (with occasional playing
about on PC) it is very worrying that we are often called to help out
PC users who have gotten into a mess.

How is the average Amiga user to know about worms, viruses, spyware
etc.?

We don't get any of this trouble so we are useless to ask really.

:-(

I think I get enough trouble trying to ward off sites putting cookies
on my machine (looks at Amiga.org) and I'm glad that Amiga browsers
have basic security measures such as warning about submissions,
insecure links and referer headers.

I always look to Virus Help Denmark for my virus needs but that is
just basic file virus detection.

The PC world has gotten a whole lot nastier in the last few years, I
hear now that worms just look for random IPs now and brute-force into
your ports!

Eeek!

:-o
