What else should I be doing?
I am a simple home user running a Win98SE dial-up box. I have firewall and anti-trojan software running at all times. I update my anti-virus and anti-trojan app.s several times a week, and run a full system scan with each at least once a week. My main browser is Mozilla (I use IE for only two sites), and I thoroughly delete all temp files, internet caches and coookies three or four times a week. Apart from Mozilla and my AT and AV auto-update functions, every app. has to ask permission to connect every time. I don't use OE, and all my personal data, including the data files for my email client, Pegasus, are stored in a PGPdisk that is unmounted when I am online, except for the brief periods needed to check for new email.
Bearing in mind that I am joe very ordinary, are the above measures providing a level of security adequate for my situation, or is there something else that I should do, aprt from unplug my box?
