i've been certified by my financial institutions security service for years pagan-
the last few months i've been extra vigilant becuase of some weird "coincidences" and i don't beleive in coincidences... seems like somebody knows about some of my internet searches but htey think they are my wife's .. which is most likely being looked at at the cable provider level not here... but i couldn't be sure so i added another layer here.. i know how to keep the regular crap out of my system.. i've always practiced good computer hygeine... my last computer ran continuously for 8 years before the power supply crapped out and i bought a new tower because i had already maxed out the RAM and couldn't run a third hard drive... .
i've always run a "blind hard drive" that can only be swiched to in BIOS for security... we keep one whole system here that is never online for the most important stuff...
the rpoblem these days is that even the dvd player and several phones and a few other devices are on the wireless.... they do not have the best security issues... and i put another router out in the shop so the motor home could be on the network too...
