Has anyone heard about Clark Howard - hackers scanning hard drives?

Having just read his column, I would that his writing as FUD.

Allan

FUD + 1

But I'm not prepared to install flash just to read more.

Who's Howard Clarks (or Clark Howard)?

Clark Howard is a self-made multi-millionaire and a self-proclaimed financial and consumer watchdog (self-funded because he can be).

And I think that just about says it all.

Best bet ... steer clear. The advice emanating from these columns over security matters is DON"T download other than from known and trusted sources.

Thank you. So why exactly should we pay a blind bit of notice to what he has to say on this topic? (And where does he say it, btw?)

Not a clue. I was simply answering your question: Who is Clark Howard?.

I think the OP knows, not Steve.
