I agree with you, they are going to change. Spyware is taking on more rootkit-like characteristics every day. As software and technology outstrips the understanding of the user (further and further all the time), we're going to have more and more incidents, and more serious ones at that. So you're right, things are going to change. Again...perceptions. Most computer security folks don't like analogies drawn between the real and virtual worlds, but for most people there can't be a distinct difference in perception between the two. The things you do to protect yourself in the real world, every day often without even thinking about it, you should also do in the online world. ===== ------------------------------------------ Harlan Carvey, CISSP "Windows Forensics and Incident Recovery" http://www.windows-ir.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/windowsir/ "Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup."
