Only a very foolish person would suggest not keeping your operating system
up to date with Microsoft security updates, as they appear, which like virus
,*must* be kept current. Sooner or later you are going to get caught, if you
don't do it. Do you let your fire insurance policy lapse, just because you
haven't made a claim recently?

I would ignore Alan's reckless and rather ignorant advice, which is not only
unsupportable, but also contradicted by virtually every computer security
expert, I am aware of. I see no support for his bizarre suggestions. Can we
see some links Alan for your incredible advice?
