Gooday all
Be aware there are some in this gardening area who are looking to attack
your computers by giving false links and phishing sites.

They will gain your confidence and take over your computer by various means.

It pays to stay clear of these persons.

Dont click on any links and make sure your anti spyware and anti virus
programs are up to date.
And last of all, they can impersonate others as well...
They have done so to me lately..
Regards and all. Happy gardening...

How do we know that you are not impersonating yourself?

Come to that, how do we know you are not someone with a vested
interest ? Perhaps you are trying to discredit everyone else just to
make more room for yourself.

Seriously though, you should all make sure your security is up to
date,
and if any website suggests you disable your security, DON'T !!!
Allways have your anti-virus, firewall, adblocker, and anything else
you
can think of.
Personally, I never allow cookies under any circumstances, because they

can also contain spyware. Also, as I said before, best to encrypt your
hard drive, just to be doubly sure.

You could also try wrapping your head in cooking foil and keeping your
left foot in a bucket of whipped cream, if you are really that
paranoid.

I do hope that by your comments you were not trying to imply that the
site recommended by C Fiske was in any way suspect.

That site is ran by my son, Tom, and is bona fide. I would resent any
suggestion otherwise.

Provided that you have adequate security protection, and if not shame
on you, you can safely inspect the software he is kindly
offering. If there were any problems your security would flag a
warning.

I know some outdated systems are very vulnerable, and would suggest you
try Linux as an alternative OS.

By the way, most ISPs record all your e-mail addresses, all the
sites you visit, and any info you provide them upon sign-up,
this they sell on for around 24p sterling each. Multiply this by
all their customers and you will see they make a fat profit. Mind you,
mobile phone companies do this as well.

Bearing this in mind, I suggest you aquaint yourself with all the facts
before you make slanderous remarks.
