To me it sounds like the problem is the paranoid configuration set by your systems administrator. I work at a company that has more than 100 OSX computers running SEP 11 and I never heard anyone having issues like that, apart from the annoyance of the LiveUpdate application popping once a day.

Privacy

How to Convince Non-IT Friends that Privacy Matters? 373

mmtux writes: "As technology becomes more advanced, I am increasingly worried about privacy in all aspects of my life.

They say they simply don't care that the data they share on social networks may be accessible by others, that some laws passed by governments today might be privacy-infringing and dangerous, or that they shouldn't use on-line banking without a virus scanner and a firewall. Have you ever attempted to discuss data security and privacy concerns with a friend who isn't tech-savvy? How do you convince the average modern user that they should think about their privacy and the privacy of others when turning on their computer?"
