At any rate, your analogy is bull***. Malware running

Sebastian:

I setup Cisco firewalls for a living, while you obviously don't.

When we talk about a "firewall" you do understand that -by definition-
they have to be in a separate box with an specialized/customized OS,
don't you? You wouldn't build a car firewall with the same materials
as the rugs and seats, would you?

If you are talking about the crap that Windopes use inside their PCs,
then I have absolutely nothing to discuss, except smile disdainfully
smugly. :-\
