But you don't do your internet banking or shopping with wii :cool:Quote:
The Nintendo Wii is fairly popular here, that's a major target audience isn't it? Wii uses Opera.
Internet Baking itself is a risk, regardless of the Browser.
Also, secure browsers, Links, Links2, Lynx, E-Links... Those are fairly secure.
Nice one ;)
So 500 was what you were supposed to use huh? I think AMD can help you there.
Even though they tend to idle warm i still love the amd cpu's. :)
learnt my lesson a few years back i think it was one of those prescott chip's, anyhow the machine had been running f@h for a long time idling away in the cupboard.
went to swap out a few parts and upgrade it a bit figured the chip would of cooled down by the time i had removed the heatsink etc, went to unclip it from it's housing and got one hell of a burn on my fingers from it. :eek:
still missing a whole fingerprint on 1 1/2 fingers from it. :fpissed:
Wow... That's pretty impressive for a CPU related burn. I thought it was neat when someone got their nuts burned by a Dell Laptop...
OK guys, this you really have to see:

If I were going to do it I would use a dedicated stand alone machine that was not used for general web surfing or e-mail.Quote:

I still believe that a lot of people's problems are brought on themselves. If you keep everything up to date and use common sense then you are generally reasonably safe.
The few times that i find myself having to manage my finaces via the interwebz i use a machine with the hard drive disconnected and boot from a "Live CD" i then browse to the relevant site, and make sure it's a https: session.
and nice link Johnno i'm pretty sure i've seen it posted here before a few years back :confused:
