Not only to Bill2:
A bit late reaction but due to recent events with a government's ICT security
and some remarks elsewhere on the forum, i would like to ask what too much security is. It is a somewhat loose remark since it also depends on what's stored on the computer and how much damage can be caused by its loss. If you walk around with a purse with 25 dollars or whatever in it you don't take a heavily armed security guy with you. The situation becomes somewhat different if you transport a few millions.
I can see what you mean but your remark could be injurous to security where it is absolutely necessary to have "too much" of it.
Somewhere on this 7forum someone said that 1 security program is all you need and asked the question "what does a second one catch that the first one does not?". Apparently that person has no clue whatsoever about security programs that are, after all, written by people (let's never forget that). A remark like that is outright stupid, "dangerous" and irresposible at that since that computer will also be in contact with another person's computer at one time or another. So the security should depend on what you do with your computer. That, however, has been said before and often enough and should actually be superfluous. Unfortunately it is not.
