[Klug-general] Technical Meeting Saturday 26th November

About Safer browsing.
There is a Mozilla Firefox extension quite interesting, "HTTPS everywhere"
https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere

Also, for those who cannot/do-not-want-to get rid of Windows machines I'd recommend the following software:
- Spybot Search And Destroy(*), from 
- Malwarebytes, from http://download.cnet.com/3001-8022_4-10804572.html?spi=2419d5c73427bcede13789a2b38aae3b&part=dl-10804572
- ComboFix (when you already have a malware problem or suspect one), from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/combofix

(*) I recommend to UNTICK the "teatime" tool when installing Spybot, because in some PCs it becomes a real PINT. Remember to close your browsers when running it for best results. And first of all, update the database and immunize your system.

And not necessary but helpfull CCleaner, from http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
With CCleaner you can get rid of all the temporary files and cookies and traces of your browsing, and it makes a deeper cleanse of Windows history and the such. 

This post wouldn't be written in a Open Free World, without Windows and Gates :):)

Regards
Antonio
