[QUOTE="509322, post: 770239"] The article is marketing, but it does bring up valid, long-standing points. The anti-default deny argument always goes something like this... "Users want to use stuff so default deny is not acceptable", "User cannot handle default deny", "Default deny is too complicated", "I\we don't want to disable stuff - Microsoft shipped it with Windows, therefore it should not be disabled", blah, blah, blah. I can say the same thing about any internet security suite - watching an uniformed person slug their way along trying to make sense of the configuration controls. Not to mention the more technical interfaces like firewall at which point they just close the GUI. [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]People use my systems and do not even realize that uber-Tesla-deathray-anti-Predator attack default deny is active and running on my system. And they keep coming back asking to use my systems. How ya like them default deny apples ?[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
