The LookOut probs aren't FUD. The app should not be used. It shouldn't be
allowed to even be installed. It's not the security holes, it's the security
design flaws. Yeah, you can turn off the security holes, but the first
worm/virus/whatever that hits the box from somewhere else can open them back
up. Current antivir software doesn't prevent that. Seen that. One email
could've cost the company millions of dollars. It also made me late for
dinner. LookOut just ain't worth it.

:)

I'm told they've finally realized the errs of their ways and are now placing
hard limits in LookOut to keep things like VBscript from being executable.
That's a start. I still call for an all out ban, though. They've proven
their product to not be trustworthy. Why should I suddenly believe it won't
contiue being a carrier of STDs[1]?
