OT I think i could very well of picked up the new worm due to communication with my son prior to his company going down. My update of virus protection does not seem to be able to get into the web set to update.
The difficulty we face here being a tech driven economy is the cost is tremendous. I going sound as if i come from a cave but improvements in technology and past products we created were greeted with a huge demand as they eased and elevated our lives.

I thought today about how many people could have termite ridden computers you can't see termites and if you don't have an inspector check for them the house finally has all it beams in terribly weak shape.

This bothers me because interconnection is feasible for all computers. To create safety we are continually adding patches and increasing costs. The results are that this is perpetual but so is the cost portion of it a debit to the profit structure. The difference we have here is that most inventions have increased ease of life and at some point create a profit that goes into the creation of a new product but we are spending huge amounts just to keep our new product up and running.

Every day we face a higher probability that we can be shut down if not by air by our own inability to secure what we have created. The cost of this is not easy to absorb.

We are not alone here by any means i can see where some whacko might get a kick out of getting in and reprogramming a robot of some sort who operates in a sheet factory. Low and behold the rivets are all on the walls instead of on the sheet metal.

We lack ethics or we seeing a new breed of people who have no respect for other people. It is scary stuff and the cost to secure is becoming greater every day and security is now not only an illusion job wise but nation wise.
