Maybe it wasn't quite loaded yet or something. I just downloaded/opened it and am reading it right now.


Aside from the fact that I love his username (TimBuck2), that is a very well written article!!!

Thanks for posting the article, but I can not open the links in the pdf doc. Are they working? My adobe doesn't reconize them as web links. What am i doing wrong?

Hmm ok, if you look in the downloads section of the forum there is a section specifically for this article. If you post this there, i'll let Timbuck2 know and see if he can reply.

Excellent article. I have made it a practice to have my computer guru check my computer every six months. Costs me 60 bucks but well worth it. I remember one time I thought my computer was secure when I was having problems getting on line and the computer doing funny things, like crashing in the middle of something I was doing, even while working off line.
After he cleaned it up it worked just fine. He found 163 viruses and three trojans in my computer. I couldn't beleive it.
If your computer is not secure you are going to lose everything you have gained.

Thumbs up Re: Must Read! Securing Your Computer (article)

If you don't have a secure computer you do not have a secure DX account.
