Good deeds

Hoff at Rational Security blog is giving a helping hand - as long as it is not to someone fighting against the Norton Pop-ups. Must admit, I am willing to fight the Norton Pop-ups anytime - and replace them with something a little more subtle. Something that knows its place on the computer - and do not bother the user with messages that not even the best of security worker can understand. 

So - the Hoff story.  

I like the fact that it is possible to exchange a security lesson with bowling. 

But - the fact that even ATM vendors are neglecting security is not a good deed at all. They really should know better.  I mean, we are no longer in the 1980! No wonder why companies in not-so-secure industries are having a hard time understanding. 

It (Norton) does make sense in some cases

but I must admit I am not a huge fan either. Still, each organization needs to consider its options, and some will rightfully make the decision to stay with Norton.

The only sane way to deal

The only sane way to deal with Norton is to not use it. The firewall in Windows XP SP2 is better.
