Re:Dial-up does not make you more secure (Score 1)

I would most deffinitely have to agree with the above comment. It is very cumbersome to download security updates while on dial-up, not to mention file definitions and updates for programs such as Ad-Aware and Spybot. One thing that is of importance here however is what experience has showed me. I use standard cable connection at my own residence, but whenever I go to my parents house I have to travel back in time and use dial-up. Since I am the only one who scans the computer for vulnerabilities, etc I tend to notice that generally their computer gathers signifficantly less spyware than my own. Perhaps this is due to the fact that they visit relatively few pages.
