Joe, thanks.
Do you log in with a password on your home desktop every time you use the computer? I don't. I just have it there on at the ready all day long.
So I'm at home, the computer is on all day long. No antivirus.
Issue one is theft:
Trade offs.
I understand wanting a password for a lost laptop and even a the possible home burglar.
Issue 2 is what you are discussing. The internet:
Software I download is software I want, so I just click the enter.
Mostly everything I download is from good sources, that's why I'm installing it. And then even if I had a password, I would still use the password and then install it.
So what good is the password in this respect?
In short, did not fully understand your post about the internet issue.
