Finally dumped Norton

I have used Mc A shit and norton I never update my version. It stays 8.1 I did have problems with the broader security version with all the bells so I uninstalled it and went back to the old one. I get them for free as my government account is still active. I never have to worry about paying for the updates. I never use a firewall. I don't see the point. If your sitting behind a NAT router you are safe unless you place yourself in the dmz and forget to remove yourself. Not many people can get threw the NAT. You can handshake the tcp connection and possibly get threw after that by udp but most hackers dont bother cause 99% of them are script shitheads and dont know how to really hack. The ones who do target places like ebay and the banks. Not your little system. Who was it who said "I rob banks cause thats where the money is" But its a valid statement cause they would have to search for a long time to find a rich persons computer and even then that person is not going to have all their eggs in 1 place like the stupid banks. Bank of America had 1/2 mil of their users stuff taken almost 1 year ago.
