I suggest (old school...when payment was determined by "the packet" and "E.T. Phone Home") you truncate Trojans by only connecting to The Net when you have immediate business to perform.

This silliness of letting your hard-drive spin, and up-date continuously is certain short-term disaster. When your system is stable....UNPLUG. Use a visual too gauge your connections, and log them. Always backup, continuously. If your modem/server is blinking like a police light...at midnight....duuuhhhh....before you grab another midnight donut....UN-Plug.

If you permit your firewall to be breached...and you are "Head of State"...twenty years, hard-time, no good behavior, perhaps, a visitation from the grand-child on your death bed.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

None of this would have happened if Gore/Jobs had not let the gypsies in the palace.
