[ale] Scare tactics

[Billy049]

Recently I have noticed news items saying the internet bad guys are now 
targeting home users who need a security suite to protect them.  It 
seems firewall programs no longer support some of the older Windowses.  
Upgrade this, buy that, argh.  Oh yeah, and they're saying Firefox has 
lately had more vulnerabilities that the other guys products.

Ok, so they have my attention now and they are scaring me towards using 
Linux for my online work.  I hope some can reassure me that this move 
will greatly increase my home computer's security.

Thanks,

Bill

I have one of those used/cheap external modems on the way.
