That article loses a lot of credibility with me when it lists Microsoft Internet Explorer as a "Popular Security Tool"  :P

@Deo - umm...the only place IE is listed is on the line where it says a particular piece of software "replaces Internet Explorer" AFAICT.  :huh:

I don't see where it calls IE a security tool...or even recommends it for anything. (Why would it possibly include it btw? IE isn't open source to begin with.) 8)

@Deo - Wow! All that from just a title? :huh:

I don't think I could get that logical on a bet. ;D :Thmbsup:

I have a knack for twisting words around into various meanings. I keep telling people I'd be a pretty good lawyer.

But I only use my powers for good! 8) Or for humor. And it's not always good humor. ;)

Thanks for this.  Ought to be better than weeding through sectools.org for the Linux versions...  :Thmbsup:

Oh, wait... THOSE security tools... OK, I gotcha ;)
