ah, @#$@#$!!!!!!!!!! I just had a nice big long blog entry about making my computer here at work more secure, and then IE crashed on me. Son of a…

Anyway, I dont want to rewrite, so here’s the gist of what I was saying:

Basically, after coming into work a few weeks ago and finding my PC was completely overrun by spyware, adware, homepage hijackers, and otehr assorted garbage, I decided to do something about it. I went and installed the following:

* Firefox - Sweet browser, anyone familiar with Safari on teh Mac will instantly be comfortable and familiar with this. Just go ahead and dump IE now. The first time you get a message telling you that firefox has prevented something from being installed on your computer you will never look back.

* Thunderbird - Another sweet pgrogram from Mozilla, and another program mac users will already be familiar with. The junk mail filter in this rocks, and its the same one OS X’s Mail program uses.

* Spyware Blaster - Prevents the installation of spyware, adware, and all that other crap. Adaware is great, but that only works agains garbage already installed on your system. Spyware blaster prevents it from getting there in the first place. Firefox does a good job of preventing the installation of all the garbage as well.

So, now not only is my web browsing experience much more pleasant, as an added bonus I get a much more mac-like experience on my PC (yeah!).
