[dba-Tech] Password

[Rocky Smolin]

Wow.  That was easy.  Thank you. 

I'm not one of those paranoids that suspects everyone is watching them.  But
I just didn't like the idea that MS could log into my box when they wanted
to.  I know there's no one interested in me enough to do that. But still...


Now, next question - why do I have to update Adobe Flash EVERY time I
restart my comp?  Is it because they're hoping that one time I'll forget to
uncheck installing McAffee? Or do they really have software that's so buggy
it needs updating 4 times a week?
