make IT secure
If you use Windows you have to contend with viruses and trojans all over the Internet. Linux and Mac owners are a little luckier being that Linux is getting more secure by default, and both are niche operating systems.
makeITsecure is an Irish Government website set up to encourage Irish Internet users to protect their PCs. It’s a laudable effort, but sorely lacking as it doesn’t link to any of the free anti-virus or anti-adware products available! What about Ad-Aware, AVG Anti Virus or the very accessible Trend Mico Housecall that will scan your PC without installing anything?
Oh yes, makeITsecure.ie is sponsored by Microsoft and Symantec among others. At least the Microsoft AntiSpyware package is free. Let’s hope you have a genuine install of Windows eh?

blo.gs – something wrong?
I use blo.gs to generate the list of links over there on the rights of my site.
It’s useful because it lists the links in order of last update.
It’s not useful in that in the last 2 or 3 weeks spam links creep into the list without my intervention. Has this happened to anyone else?
Must get in touch with them to report it.
