AV Paranoia and FUD


I am pretty much of the opinion that a lot of what the vendors of A-V and other computer security solutions tell you is in a large part FUD.

In a technological world the issue of security is one that there is a lot of spin! Due to the lack of understanding of what is actually going on - the paranoia of the masses runs rampant.

It would seem that a lot of folks are afraid to cross the street, let alone use their computers to actually  do anything useful. Still, it all makes work for the vendors of operating systems, software and schemes to keep us all safe!

Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson

Now this, in 2012, could be seen as a "blast from the past", but these two were masters at FUD
