Re: How Secure is Windows, Really?

Just a side note:

My laptop (a fully patched WIN XP SP2) requires a user id and password to 
login and after ten minutes the screen saver kicks in, which locks the pc 
and requires password entry to unlock it from the screen saver. It's been 
that way since the day I reloaded it about 10 months ago.

Last night I downloaded the latest Quicktime version and installed it. 
This morning when I checked my morning email, I found that the laptop was 
not locked and the screen saver was set to NONE which disabled the 
password protection.

Coincidence? Possibly - but I think not. 

Secure? I thought the password lockout was effective and am shocked that 
something like this happened! 

And that's all I'm going to say.
