Ping: Sandi

[LuckyStrike]

Greetings Sandi -

Would it be too much of an imposition to ask you for a reminder of your
thoughts on the "enable third party browser extensions" pros and cons, and
the supposed benefit that some assert is gained by disabling it. That is,
what they think they are achieving by that recommendation? I seem to
recollect that your stance was to leave it enabled, but I could be (and
occasionally have been) mistaken. <g>

Thanks Sandi.

Hi Lucky,

My stance is not so much that it should be remain enabled. My stance is
more that is such a 'catch all' that for diagnosis purposes its well nigh
useless and for modern malware that registers itself as a service doesn't
make a spot of difference anyway. All it does, is some limited
circumstances, is tell you that *something* on the computer is causing a
problem. Well heck, we already KNOW that!!!

Kindest,

Long time no hear. I think you were away on some "sabbatical" the last time
I pinged you. (last year perhaps?) ;-)

Well, thanks Sandi for getting back and enlightening me on your view of it's
"Newsflash" worthiness. Lol ! ;-D.
