The good guys of course!

Most of us run:

(1) A firewall

(2) Linux

(3) SpamAssassin and DansGuardian.

Microsoft claims to be combating the innumerable
malware, viruses, and trojans that are specifically
aimed at its products, but seeing how these
undesirables are being produced at breakneck
speed, one wonders about the effectiveness of
the purported countermeasures.

Security experts admitted in August 2007 that
the above is true, and that blacklists in AV
programs just don't work. They also stated that
whitelists are the only option left.

I dumped Microsoft's flawed products in 1997,
and I continue to convert others by the hundreds
each year. There's simply no room for mediocrity
in such a rich and novel field.
