Security software versus security 

If you live in Florida, you can keep yourself safer by signing up with the government to get emergency alert email about events like hurricanes.

Unless you're on AOL. AOL blocks those messages as spam.

A while back I wrote about hotspotvpn.com, a company that provides a way to keep your data safe at wireless hotspots and other networks that you don't control. Unfortunately, if you're using their service AOL blocks you from sending email to any of their customers, according to a report from Techdirt.

There's no good answer to problems like these. Your best bet is to swing your business to companies that fix problems quickly when you complain.
