Simon:
It used to do it's job, but I haven't used it for years, Gill.
Clive:
What's a firewall? :dunno: ;D
Simon:
Actually, you do have one. It's called Deepguard. :)
GillE:
The thing is, I reckon my current security is okay. That's because I can't find any malware... but if there was malware on my computer, it wouldn't be detectable, would it?
Oh, it's just like the Millennium bug all over again. I reckon I'm secure but how do I really know I'm secure? And if I am secure, is what I fear may be insecure actually worth securing? Or do I just have a security complex?

It would by a decent, up to date, malware detector, such as Malwarebytes, or Super Anti Spyware. Different apps pick up different types of malware, so, unlike anti-virus, it's usually OK to have a couple on your machine, to scan with occasionally.

Paranoid? Of course I'm not paranoid - who told you that? ;)
