Internet Security
After reading in the HDT Announcements about "Attack Sites" Attack Sites - Harley Davidson Community I thought it might be a good idea to see what internet security measures we are taking.
No need to try and sell the products, just put up the name and if members want any further info they can do a google. I used to have IE ADware McAfee installed, but now I know better...I use Firefox 3.0.5 Spybot Search & Destroy (FREE) BitDefender Total Security 2009...

Re: Internet Security
I also have a mac. Not to say that I am safe, but I have not had any problems...yet.
When I had a PC my problems always started when I had all those free (and sometimes paid) security programs. I'll admit that I am no expert on computers, I think thats why I like my mac so much, lol

Re: Internet Security
Hummm..... so many choices. Anyway, I use a MAC most of the time here at home. Not by choice, but that's what my dear wife bought me for Christmas. Sort of a joke, since I work on PC's.
 Anyway, on the many PC's, I use Firefox, Avast 4 virus protection. AVG is very good also. I run off of a router which is locked down to MAC address etc.. Using just these has kept me from having any issues. Also, make sure that your virus protection program check for "dat" file updates daily. If you do manually, check daily. Very important here boys and girls. McAfee is too much work for me with all the reboots and Norton, well. . . . good luck! Just my experience. Some of you mentioned ADware, be careful for it will show up as a virus on some virus protection software. Ugly John Last edited by glider; Feb 3rd, 2009 at 09:41 AM. |

Re: Internet Security
We are all Apple users here... before my son decided to come into the family business, he was a systems engineer with Apple. He brought his talents and I have never used anything but Macs.. never had a virus that I'm aware off over the last 12 years....never lost any information at the office or home.
