  1. Windows keeps making me go thru security questions all of a sudden.


    It started this morning with Hotmail, said my settings were outdated and it asked me for my PIN. Then it asked me for my PAIN when opening Movies and TVs and right then, after booting from a normal shutdown, again, security check, just making sure it's you. What is that?

    That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

    SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.
