Steve Gibson's Security Now # 182 For February 5, 2009


Several friends and Cage Match readers have requested a link to Steve Gibson's excellent "Security Now" Podcast with Leo Laporte.  I thought I'd give it a try to see if any more of our listeners would like this feature.  If you keep up with with security for your computer, including firewalls, anti-virus, the latest security threats and buzz, this is the podcast for you.

Steve and Leo also discuss other security topics from time to time, including cryptography, PC OS updates, hackers, countermeasures and more.

Let us know what you think.

I downloaded and installed Katmouse on my work computer. Finally now the 2 different machines ( XP and Linux) can have a similar feel, it was driving me crazy with the non scrolling windows in XP, especially some that refuse to scroll in Office, that now are scrollable.

If you think the scroll wheel is unneeded, try using a plain vanilla 2 button mouse for a day. Strange thing is that I love the original Microsoft Intellimouse, I use them wherever possible. I have mostly the old white one's, as they are tough and robust, only had one fail on me, cord wore out, and left button died. Replaced cord from another balled mouse that a DFU dropped into coffee, and button came from same after a good cleaning in fresh water followed by a good drying.
