  1. Comment - Program Manager: IE Not Less Secure

    (Mar 25, 2005 - 8:03 AM)

    Ohh yea, I did not get a chance to mention this, lol I am going to be so late.

    That comment is just blatantly false in every possible way, read the article on tech net to expand your knowledge.

    "It only stops things coming in, and that not so well. As soon as something is on your system, it doesn't even pretend to care..."

    Why do you think it says (There is a program attempting to access the internet or open a port, do you want to let it?)

    Well I am going to work, ill check back later.

    I put "" around the comment I was talking about, it could have looked like I said that uneducated comment

    The firewall in XP SP2 is actually quite a goof firewall for home use, while it is not at par with ISA it sure does get the job done.

    I don’t have too much time, as I am late for work, but I suggest you check out this article on TechNet. It will give you an in-depth overview on how ICF helps to protect the computer.

    I will try to come back on later and defend ICF a bit more, lol, but till then ill have to let TechNet do it for me.

    Please do me a fave. Turn off your computer and keep it under your bed, if I read one more comment like that I will be forced pound my head through the wall in an attempt to rid my brain of reading such utter ignorance in print.

    You have a hardware firewall? Are you talking about your little POS linksys?! As for your software solution? Did you know that SP2 has a fairly useful firewall built in? And wait?? You see no dialogs in IE, hear is a suggestion. When you are able to figure out how to plug the various color coded cables back in to your computer grant me a small request, install SP2. You are having an EEOC issue. (For my less tech savvy friends (aka the idiot that wrote the article I am commenting about) EEOC is a common term for Equipment Exceeds Operators Capacity (I tend to give that title to the people who call me to come in to do something stupid like plug in a mouse or make sure there network cable is plugged in)

    Thank you very much, I have been a reader for years but have never been one to post on the forums. But that last post inspired me to register and respond. I said to my self if I have to read one more comment from another 15 year old who thinks because he can throw together a few pieces of hardware and install a fresh copy of an OS that he is a computer god and the end all and be all of all things IT I was going to explode, Hence the rather lengthy rebuttal. But again, thank you for your feedback; I am glad that you appreciated my contribution to the thread.
