    Hi Folks,
    I'm sure we all have friends, relatives and possibly colleagues who insist
    on using the Internet with zero security, their rationale usually being "Who
    would be interested in what is one my computer" ..... " I paid for
    antivirus 3 years ago, and I haven't changed my computer so it should still
    work"

    We hold a sweepstake at work for the relative with the most viruses, I was
    winning with 44 for a relative who'll remain nameless, but was beaten just
    before Christmas by a guys Uncle with 67!

    Anyway, back to the topic. I have been collecting links to free security
    tools for a variety of purposes Anti Virus, Personal Firewalls, Net Nanny's
    and Spyware which is at
    http://www.securitywizardry.com/mischomeuse.htm I've still to find a free
    antispam tool for Windows Outlook and Outlook Express, but I think the page
    has sufficient content for it to be useful. Please let me know if you have
    any suggestions for improving the advice, products or content.

    I did have one recommendation for including a free clampdown tool for
    windows, but haven't found one that is easy enough for the average homeuser,
    any ideas?

    take care
