[QUOTE=brk-lnt;121651]It is not your ISP's job to protect you from yourself, especially if you choose to go online with a security deficient machine.
Even when I used PC's, my "Internet security" was a $100 router and common sense. I never had a need for virus and ad-ware scanners and all sorts of other funky software to "clean" my computer. [Quote];
If you're set-up works for you, that is great, brk-lnt!
I read an article a while back by an Internet security expert, and he said " that until ISP's get involved in monitoring and filtering out the hacks, that they would be getting much worse in the coming year.
I looked for the above article, couldn't find it, will keep looking and post it out here when I do.
However, I did find this related article, and Comcast is getting involved. So they must be aware of the above as well.
