Do the trick to do what? It's based on you and what you're doing to put the
computer at risk. After all, you're the one sitting behind the mouse doing
the pointing and clicking, and you are at the keyboard doing the typing.
It's like you are saying "I have a radiation suite on, but I am standing
inside a Nuclear Reactor."
The key to at all is practicing safe hex, hardening the O/S as much ass
possible to attack. Its not the Superman costume sitting in the closet (the
prevention software).
