Right my two good friends. And if you have some good System Monitoring you could stay free of rootkits even, and that for a long time to come.. That is not the point, it is a powerplay at a grand scale. Some want to do it for you, and these 200 big corps know what is good for you on 'your' comp & what should not be there. This could be a policy for chicken that do not know what they are doing, because they use their computers without a head. Bad enough for us they are uneducated, some don't even bother, and form the majority.
The day that everybody turns their old comp into a Linux firewall machine as a m0n0wall with iptables, etables, etc. so that absolutely nothing can worm-tunnel itself over this firewall box or through, is still far away or may never come. The future as spelled out for us looks " default is beautiful" & "pay per click" and then things look a bit different, and it will be a heavily moderated future. It is going to be "baked" into your motherboards!
