Block times start at a few minutes and progressively increase. I don't recall the name of the software but I found it after a Google search. Combine that with Mezza's suggestion and you're in reasonably good shape.Saftnsafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156721639332185585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733349251658899899.post-67662600622504022092016-04-15T05:24:42.619-07:002016-04-15T05:24:42.619-07:00Thanks for sharing this information about Amazon k...Thanks for sharing this information about Amazon kindle support and kindle help for the Many issue.<br /><a href="http://www.kindlehelpsupport.com/" rel="nofollow"> amazon kindle support</a>.

That way in case you do forget to turn off remote login you can rest considerably more securelymezzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591336908178963290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733349251658899899.post-41854104658389232092016-02-15T08:57:21.945-08:002016-02-15T08:57:21.945-08:00I hate it when my own blog deletes MY comment! So...I hate it when my own blog deletes MY comment! So Thomas good to hear from you. Protecting your Mac from outside sources is more of a challenge these days but still relatively safe if you take some basic precautions. <br /><br />• Start by limiting access to your computer both physical and virtual. <br />• Don't use an admin account for your everyday work. <br />• Use a VERY good password for your account and the admin account you set up. <br />• Make sure that you lock down your router and don't forward any ports unless you absolutely need it.<br />• If you do need to forward some ports to a specific Mac make sure you monitor that Mac by checking your log files at least weekly<br />• Download a utility like DetectX (http://sqwarq.com/detectx/) that can scan for key loggers, adware & malware and hidden executables. It's Free!<br />• Lastly, just be vigilant!<br /><br />Hope that helps. <br /><br />Bruce<br /><br />Bruce Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819531166242834665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733349251658899899.post-65063897111875836592016-02-12T21:39:46.346-08:002016-02-12T21:39:46.346-08:00Hello Bruce,

IN my case it was storeassetd. <br /><br />ON the note of protecting my Mac from outside malicious forces, can you recommend any program that would sweep my computer and shine a light on what is really happening. I am connected to the internet almost 24/7 for my job, but stick to the real common sites, Google applications, etc.<br /><br />I know that it has been awhile since you wrote this, so thank you for any help you can offer.<br /><br />-Tom<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733349251658899899.post-585132720614790422015-12-10T16:28:37.053-08:002015-12-10T16:28:37.053-08:00Thank you so much Bruce!
