[SATLUG] Security

You can leave the "accept all cookies" enabled on Mozilla, or Netscrape but
change the "cookies.txt" file to read only, and that will force cookies to
remain in RAM until the browser is closed,   They will never be written to
disk.

Unfortunately on the Windows platform and using IE, this "feature" is not
available.

: Well, turning off cookies is not an option.  Even legit websites don't allow
access with cookies off.
:
: So, I loaded VmWare on my Windows XP Home computer.  I then loaded windows
2000 and windows XP in 2 seperate VM's.
:
: I use one for checking email and official stuff on the net.
:
: I use the other one for surfing, this way if there are BS cookies loaded (or
trojans) they can't harvest passwords or personel info.  There is nothing in
the VM for them to find>:-)  fsck the people writting this code...they are low
lifes!
:
: BTW, you can run linux or BSD in a VM with VmWare.  I know OpenBSD 3.4
works:-)
