Opinions please. My computer runs WinXP and I have Norton Internet Security
2003. I feel that I am reasonably security conscious - always have the
latest patches etc. I do get regular alerts from NIS, warning me of a
detected intrusion, which concerns me - for each detected intrusion, what is
the likelyhood of someone slightly more competent getting through. I get at
least 10 alerts a day - should I be worried? NIS itself tells me not to take
any action as it is monitoring the situation and it would obviously be
pointless attempting to report each intrusion. Is there anything further
that I can do (apart from moving to *nix) to protect myself?
