    Resolved Protecting Your Computer forum, is it time? [Resolved]

    Do you think there's ample interest & need to add a forum here dedicated to "Protecting Your Computer"?
    e.g. to discuss anti virus apps,
    a/v sites,
    h/w and s/w firewalls,
    adware, spyware scanning/detection/removal tools etc
    browser settings, cookies,
    email security and attachment issues,
    dis/advantages of various internet connections, e.g. DSL, modem, etc
    file encryption,
    physical locking, e.g. Kensington? locks for laptops,

    Paranoidally yours, DaveBo

    Maybe interesting, a lot of interest has sparked in this area all over the Interlet latly.

    But, right now people ususlly use the General PC forum for this kind of thing

    I agree with the recommendations of using the general forums for now and AntiOnline. If there are a lot of discussions started there, then we can look at breaking them out into a separate area.
