[What type of Firewall do you use?]

I'm not interested in local machine software egress filtering. For everything else there's $0 pfSense

 

http://pfSense.org

 

$200 used box including dual NIC (at least: core2duo, 4gigs ram, preferably ssd for silence)

 

 

pfSense can be a roll your own hardware firewall appliance. With its own package system one can easily add snort et al without the tiresome upselling of untangle.

 

I prefer other strategies to secure the windows user desktop

[How to skip Open Candy installations]

I'm not a fan of Open Candy [malware],...

A similar type of "download [malware]" is "Bunndle [malware]"

 

bunndle.com

[ no-www.org ]

 

Oh thank you, DennisD, for sharing that.

 

Not trying to hijack your thread

 

It's not hijacking to make others aware of similar harm. Drawing the right eyes to the problem will help make them suffer justly drive them into oblivion.

 

 

Like I've stated in previous topics it's very easy to stop these 3rd party piggyback adware suggestions

 

HOSTS abuse ought be a measure of last resort. Confront morally weak or intellectutally impaired "free" software developers: re-educate them on the correct use of the word 'free'.

• Do insist mobile markets add a seperate category for the adware flavor of malware.
  
• Insist developers honestly label their malware.
  
• If they believe it's a choice for the public insist they also offer a non-malware installation wrapper executable/zip.
  

 

many other similar suggestion services

 

Please share your list. Some people volunteer to update HOSTS lists, RBLs, and other public service resources.

 

however it's nice to now know about that /NOCANDY switch.

 

Is it equally nice to know one can not-bother to include that functionality in such malware installation wrappers?

 

 

 

The fact that they support and honor the "/NOCANDY switch"

 

That is a specious claim.

 

The switch is a potential -- by construction it is unlikely.

 

 

 

 

shows they have higher integrity

 

 

It allows them to purport the illusion of integrity that you are eager to believe is real.

 

 

than others that could be named

 

Please name them to help others help the world be a less evil place.

 

 

adware is antithetical to free; the COST of adware is too high: injured privacy = injure liberty.
