EDIT: hehehe... I'm a Protector!

Based on your quiz results, you are a Protector. You are concerned about keeping your information private, but at the same time understand that there are some limited times when sharing some information is appropriate to make your online services more useful and compelling.
I'm a Protector too;)
After reading the first few questions, i decided i was too paranoid to take part. Why would the speed of your internet connection matter with privacy? It doesn't. What a sly way to get feedback from consumers by dressing it up as a privacy questionaire....
Of course I could be wrong, and it doesn't report to anyone back at MS, about user's habits. heh.
Maybe you are right maybe you aren't.Quote:

IMO type of your connection affects your security because when you connect throug dial-up you are not online for a long time and every time you conect you receive a different IP adress. When you use cabel you are online for a loong time and because of this you are easier to be attacked by a hacker(you now not easier but they have a long time to find you to try diferent things etc). Other thing is that you have almost every time the same IP.
But in other wayt I took that test just for fun so... ;)
All i know is that , as long as you are online, you can never be secured.
Securing your system
Well, a command that locks arp table is:
[root@server]#arp -v -i eth0 -s 213.233.70.1 00:31:6B:94:32:A8
Once you issue that command that arp entry could not be
deleted/updated/forged! As far as i know FreeBSD can be made completely
secure by compiling the kernel with right parameters.
I am a guardian....Secure...but not paranoid.....
im a guardian too :) !
Most people who are paranoid worry too much, its not like they have top secret info on their computers that hackers are trying to acces. I think a regularly updated anti-virus and some common sense will keep you safe online without being paranoic.
me = paranoid....hehe
im protector :)
but i agree, it is probably an evil scheme by ms to get info for free, without ourknowing, so they can use it to incorparate it into the eveil IE :/
also protector
hmmmmm well im protector also...... hmmmm looks to me like an excuse to advertise IE in something 'interesting'....... notice that it says:
hmmmmmm ad or an i just paranoid?Quote:
To help you protect your information, you may want to set the new privacy control in Internet Explorer 6 to the "high" position, which blocks most cookies...............
speeking of paranoid the RAF buzzed my house 3 times in a 10 min period today....... normaly they dont even come clese to it........... "your not paranoid of there really out to get you"
I am a protector too.
Protector all the way baby!! I hate Big Brother and am paranoid to boot..... I never travel the same way to work every day and i encrypt just about anything i can get my hands on!!!! hehe
/me is a protector :) ... heh that form is kinda funny...
the test sucks big time.

I'm a Guardian, WOOHOO!
/me is a protector. Woohoo!
I think there are not enough answers possible. either I'm paranoid either I'm a complete newbie!
At the end I'm a protector.
...........protector
here is microsofts advice for the free spirited hippie types out there that think the computer is a great way to share...
too funny!
Based on the results of the quiz, you are an Accepter. You accept the idea of Web sites you visit acquiring information about you and your Internet habits, but want to put a few privacy protections in place. As you are fairly comfortable with the amount of information that is collected about you online, you can set minimal restrictions by adjusting the new privacy control in Internet Explorer 6 to the "Low" position, which allows for the flow of cookies. Cookies are small bits of information stored on your computer. They're read by a Web site server and contain personal information, including customized preferences and pages visited.
The following are a few tips, which in addition to the privacy setting, you might find helpful in order to surf the Internet more safely:
Read the privacy policies on Web sites you visit. For sites that have machine-readable privacy polices, the new IE6 browser translates those policies into a standard format, much like a nutrition label, so you receive clear answers about information use, not a bunch of legalese. Be wary of a site that does not have any privacy policy. These privacy features can be found in the Tools tab, under Internet Options, in your IE6 browser.
Place sites you trust into the "trusted zone." Internet Explorer 6 enables you to do this so that you can configure different levels of privacy for different sites on the Web. To do this, go to Tools: Internet Options: Security.
If you use high-speed connections, such as DSL or cable, remember this makes you an easy target for computer hackers. If you aren't using a firewall already, you should obtain one.
If you go to chat rooms:
Place the family computer where adults can monitor use.
Use Web sites such as GetNetWise that explain and locate software to control children's use of the Internet.
Do not give out any personally identifiable information to people you do not know.
If you shop online, take some simple precautions:
Be sure retail Web sites display an on-screen padlock symbol. This indicates the site uses encryption technology to protect transmitted information.
Create a .Net Passport for easier online shopping and to secure personal information when traveling among Web sites.
Obtain contact information (such as phone number and address) from Web sites before providing credit card information. This ensures the business is legitimate and simplifies returns.

took the test "for real" and got the protector stamp. yipee
Protector?
!!!!I AM JUDGE, JURY, & EXACUTIONER!!!!
That is THE WORST security quiz ever. Those questions were very lame, and the possible responses annoyed and angered me, because I didn't find any answers that fit me, my use of the internet. Damn that lame quiz, though I filled it out best I could, I got protector.
