For readers’ convenience, I’d like to summarize the long list of present best practices in client-system security implemented by all InfoWorld readers. When you sit down at a client computer that’s not hooked into a locked-down corporate network, you know the drill. You have e-mail rules that block potentially hazardous attachments, including JPEGs and Office documents. You’ve always got your firewall cranked up to maximum vigilance, getting your clearance for every attempt by every application to open an outbound TCP/IP connection. Your anti-virus software runs constantly and stays constantly updated. You set aside temporary mail accounts for use in forums, Usenet posting, and online shopping to avoid phishers and spammers. You have cookies, Javascript, auto-fill and plug-ins disabled in your browser and you never, never use IM or peer-to-peer networks. You regularly clean out your Windows registry or sweep out the detritus of installed but unused Linux or OS X software, and you weed through files that have piled up in Firefox’s cache and download directories.
