Are you for real? And you're claiming you're an MVP? IFF you're actually an MVP and not a poser, you need your status revoked. And BTW, you don't answer questions with questions; you answer them with answers. Dummy.


I have been using computer since 1979. I have never been infected.

In which case, when the MSBLAST worm came out you were running Windows 9x or if you were running an NT version you weren't connected to the internet, or you manually blocked the opened ports to the worm.

I only use the Windows firewall. I have an anti-virus and an anti-spyware
running. They never find anything. I repeat, if you're not infected what do you need outbound protection for?

We know that you are an experienced user, you know what is going on with you computer. For the others who aren't so smart they should have outbound protection and outbound notice of what is trying to access the outside world. Unless you think that having things like Adobe, Intellimouse and what not calling home once a month or sneaking around in the background while you surf the net is a good thing.

Not true. I was running WinXP with all updates and it did not hit me.
