I’m always 100% patched and have my virus software current however don’t forget about java, flash, etc. updates.

I got nailed several weeks ago by a java exploit even with everything else 100% current.

Good point. I use Secunia, which tracks all insecure programs on your computer and links you to the updated version for patching. It’s amazing how often Java and Adobe are updated with security patches.

If you’d been running in a virtual machine, that exploit might have been a non problem, just a suggestion......
