[Coco] VCC Color Computer 3 Emulator v2.0.1 - Public

[Al Hartman]

Read what I wrote again.

In the use case of a DW4 server running Vcc and NOT BROWSING THE WEB or 
RETRIEVING E-MAIL, a Windows XP system will be plenty safe.

Sorry, but that's just not true. If you access the wrong web page with that 
system, I don't care what antivirus or firewall you have, your system can be 
infected faster than you can say identity theft! The exploit can bypass or 
disable any antivirus on that system before the antivirus can react because 
it can trick the OS into running unsafe code due to the multiple un-patched 
security holes. I have seen it happen to someone else who would not listen 
to me. You simply can not use an un-patched system to safely browse the 
internet, and any XP is un-patched.
