[QUOTE="Hungry Man, post: 25742, member: 610"] I would have to disagree. The single most important aspect of your security is the policy enforced by your operating system followed by the policy enforced on the application level, and then perhaps (if ever) followed by the user. While safe practices are certainly helpful I would not consider them a "core" necessity. If the policy is strong enough it should be unnecessary for the user to exert any "common sense" whatsoever. My opinion. As for practices like strong passwords, absolutely. That's good advice. The fact is that (on Windows and OSX) we don't have the policy there (and we can't) so these practices are necessary. Therefor, A+ guide! hehe =p [/QUOTE]
