Firstly, I’d set Dragon to ‘Never save passwords’ in the options (see my Snadboy Revelation video demonstration in a later blog post to see why). Then you should use security zones and add trusted websites to those zones. Then you can block cookies, scripts, etc., without stopping you from browsing. Under Dragon you would do this by altering the ‘Content Settings’. If you set the ‘Ask me when a site tries to set data’ Cookies option, then every time a site tries to set a cookie then it will prompt you. If you trust the site, then select always allow; if you don’t then you can either select always block or just block this time. <br><br>JavaScript, Plug-ins and Pop-ups should be blocked on all sites by default. Each one has a list of exceptions that you can add to allow these features on specific trusted sites. If you are surfing round and discover that a site you do trust isn’t on your exceptions list, then an icon will appear in the address bar indicating that something has been blocked. Clicking on this will allow you to add the site to the exceptions list. Most people use the same sites regularly, so you’ll quickly build up to a good browsing experience, but still protect yourself from the unknown.Luke Hebbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100190691403603777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519657500829397637.post-77446457905598866912010-05-20T13:14:21.335+01:002010-05-20T13:14:21.335+01:00Do you have updates on Dragon?

Another is that because MS software might be slower than their rivals then it must have more vulnerabilities. Personally, due to security having such a big impact on performance, I would expect the most secure software or system to be one of the slowest in a like-for-like comparison.Luke Hebbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100190691403603777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519657500829397637.post-48296917988647563642010-04-14T19:38:56.168+01:002010-04-14T19:38:56.168+01:00I recently mentioned the findings of that report t...I recently mentioned the findings of that report to someone, and they thought they'd misheard me!Rock Hyraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721238240881551457noreply@blogger.com
