[ale] Comcast to Protect Customer's Computers From Malware

[Richard Faulkner]

Yes, but is this Comcast "protecting" customer assets or Comcast
protecting their own network and infrastructure from such traffic?  I
have yet to read the article but shake my head every time I hear/think
about vulnerability of M$ based systems.  What a racket.  Create a
product that breaks to foster the need of new technologies all designed
to create ever more ways of gaining access to "your" money.  I makes it
fun to spread the word of Linux to new users who feel the same!

THANK YOU LINUS!!!

Well, thank you for protecting me from something that doesn't even run on any of my computers.  (botnets notwithstanding)
