Hrmm... this is evidently some new use of the term "security". The only
reason DOS was less prone to unauthorized use of such things as internet
connections was because a program could not be sure they would be there.
Files dropping all over the place is nothing new.

If you want security, get a *real* operating system. (Unix springs to mind,
and many flavors are free.)
