This must have been the day, Melih drank more coffee than I did.
Have you ever felt, lost, overwhelmed, vulnerable?>>were you at my wedding?
If you have then I strongly recommend that you go see a shrink!>>Been there , done that.
Do you really know how many executables files (these are applications/software that are built to do things on your computer like Internet explorer) running at any one time on your machine? >> Yes, 2145.
Ok let me ask you a question in a different way: >> go ahead, shoot. :
“ Do you know how many people live in your house”? Including me or no?
A PC is like a house for your executable files do you know how many living in that house called PC? >> Yes, 2145.
Nope! We haven’t got a clue! >>ummmm, 2145.
Should we? >>Um, no?
Well.. in theory we should but its not as simple as counting people living in a house! >>Yes, 2145.
It’s a complex animal these PCs.>> like my mother in law?
Do you know, when you drop your ID in this house called PC, who is there? >>No but I hope they're tiny.
When we are getting undressed, we usually do it in the privacy of our own house or even our own room, bar few streakers>> Streakers In your home???
But we are quite happy to drop our ID into one of these houses called PCs!>>Then, umm, why are you scaring us?
But wait that’s not all! >>there's more?!
These houses called PCs have tunnels in them that connects them to other houses around the world!! >>Um that's called an escape route isn't it?
And never mind knowing who is living in this PC you own anymore>>but... you said we should.
the question becomes who is going to come thru these tunnels (what? Tunnels? More than one?) >> my mother in law, that's a no-brainer.
So we have invited this black box called PC>>Mine says emachines
Do you know what insecurities your PC has?>> Windows?
Do you know which products you should be buying to protect against these?>>Mac?
Do you know how much you should be paying?>>rebate or no rebate?
No, No and another NO!>>well thank you Mr. "No" it all.
Today there is no single place you can go to buy protection against today’s threats that easily without forking out large amount of $$$, >>Ummm I go to COMODO it's free!
In this search to protect ourselves, like a man in a desert drinking the poisonous water>>Have a sip or two did you?
We need protection,>>YES!
assurance on our machines.>>YES!
Something that tells us: Everthying is Ok carry on doing what you are doing on your computer and don’t worry about a thing. >>A pop up window?
This should not require me to be an expert to understand what is what! >>Pop up windows aren't that bad.
On contrary it should be totally invisible to the user! >> Then how do we know we have it?
I have an Air Bag in my car >>me too , my mother in law.
and I haven’t got a clue as to how it works and not interested in learning how >>oh, you know her too?
(there are too many things to learn in this world! >>ABCDEFG
And I only have very (I do mean very) limited number of grey cells)>>Hope it's not dying of lonliness.
But I know what it can do for me which is enough for me to know.>>ummmm
What’s the bloody point!!! >>YEAH!!!!
How many of us know the difference between service.exe a legitimate program and services.exe >>>I do ! I do !
Not many!
which is a Trojan!>>that round thing?
We need to change the way we protect ourselves! >>no comment.
We need to change the way we protect our identity and everything of value!>> I am a gun owner.
Technology is one part of the equation! The other part, as and when you have the technology, is the accessibility! >>So T+A =T&A?
So, in this house called PC living thousands of executables, >>executables branch?
where I don’t have a clue about who is who, >>The local tavern?
connected to millions of other PCs around the world and I don’t even have a proper protection!>>Go to Comodo.
God save us!>>Amen to that brother!
