Welcome to The Link Empire!

Before you deal with links, you will have to deal with security to keep the Big Brothers of this world out of your PC.

Here are some ground rules for security:

+ Turn off Java and Javascript
+ Disable cookies
+ Do not use ActiveX controls
+ Never open email attachments from unknown sources
+ Disable "Auto Get" when in DCC Mode on IRC
+ Use a reliable virus scanner
+ Get a personal firewall to detect any unwanted inbound or outbound activity when online
+ Keep your hands off any messaging system like i. e. ICQ, Netscape Messenger
+ DO NOT USE ENCRYPTION SOFTWARE ORIGINATING FROM THE UNITED STATES!!!
(not even the "famous" PGP [Pretty Good Privacy] because the escrow keys are built in since the first release!)
+ USE AN ANONYMOUS PROXY

* Here are some basic links which are useful for all purposes, not only for security:
