#119590 — Effective defenses against malware and other threats

John Galt says ....

The following article describes simple principles that will serve to 
protect your Mac, and yourself, from the various threats that exist 
today. It's long, but if you read nothing else, read the first three 
numbered points and the Summary at the end. They are equally applicable 
to Macs, PCs, mobile devices or anything else that uses software to 
communicate with the world beyond it.

The idiot has returned. This time I am using a newsreader which has a 
killfile. Goodbye, idiot.

you still can’t read for comprehension, idiot. He’s plonked you. And you 
can’t read headers either.
His headers show:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101
Thunderbird/60.3.0

The latest version of Thunderbird is 60.3.1, hardly a major difference.

God-damn, but you’re an idiot.

Thank you for confirming that PTA *is* using an out-of-date version of 
Thunderbird and that he/she is using Microsoft Windows 10 to post here 
in the Apple groups.

When looking at YOUR post I see what I can only describe as 
typographical errors. Those 'errors' are also shown here:-

http://al.howardknight.net/msgid.cgi?ID=154270268400

I'd like to know what causes same. Do YOU know?

To clarify, here's what I see:-

you still can’t read for comprehension, idiot. He’s plonked you. And 
you
can’t read headers either.

God-damn, but you’re an idiot.

When I started up today I got an update. This copy of Thunderbird is now 
at 60.3.1. The update was not available to me when I posted yesterday. 
It became available sometime after I posted but before this morning.

Yes he is.
