  Simple rule: If you allow javascript or other executable
code online, you're a sitting duck. If you also store private
data on your computer, use credit cards online, bank
online, etc, you're a sitting duck with something to lose.

  That might seem extreme or paranoid, but it's just the
facts. People want to believe computers can be made
safe. Executable code cannot be made safe. And these
days we're going in the opposite direction, toward the
cloud model of computing based on corporate systems,
where the network is considered safe while your family
or housemates or co-workers are considered to be risks.

  When you combine the corporate security model with
SOHo usage you get crazy risk.
