Wayne, thanks for the inputs and advice. It's amazing that some form of
random encryption can't be devised and used on computer to Internet
interfaces, rather than having to rely on increasingly complex but quickly
obsolete detection programs. The military and major corporations have had
secure communications systems for years (although perhaps not via the
Internet) and they are reliable and foolproof.

Sure, the technology is there to keep your computer protected. And if you
only
had 3 sites you went to that would be NO problem. You'ld program in those
sites, setup encryption for them, and your comptuer would not let anything
else touch it.

But, as Wayne pointed out and I'm just elaborating on, the allure of the
internet
is all of the 100s of things you can do. Games, news, usenet, this search
engine,
that search engine, this download enhancement, email from friends, email to
company X asking a question, etc., etc., etc. There is no way for the system
to
know friend from foe. At least not 100% of the time.
