Sorry, I wasn't trying to say it was an invalid security measure, but it would be more useful if people understood its purpose and educated themselves on safety. Posted Image

Other measures can be taken, eg. using add-ons like noscript or the equivalent methods for browsers other than Firefox (I think Opera has this sort of functionality built in, just disable Javascript and plugins and selectively enable them for websites). This can substantially lower your risk.

The hardest part is knowing what to do and where to find information, and that's really unfortunate. I don't have any answers for that besides asking people you know and gaining experience at making search engines give you the results you want.
