virus

I hate Skype. So Should You.

Skype is a predatory virus that should be banned from your computer.
But don't take my word for it. Look at the facts. Skype can be and has been hacked.

Protecting against the elusive Linux virus

Estimates vary, but generally it is believed that there are 100 to 500 Linux viruses out there. The tiny number of Linux viruses that do exist have never resulted in a significant outbreak. In comparison to the plethora of viruses and worms in Windows-based platforms, the volume of Linux viruses is insignificant. So this leads us to two questions: why are there so few Linux viruses and are Linux anti-virus tools necessary?

Does antivirus have a future? A nice perspective.

A nice perspective on security threats- past present and maybe, future. Mostly for those poor wretched Windows users of course. Keep it in mind when you are telling them how good it is to have Linux to use!

And before becoming *too* smug, see that there are some very clever malware peddlers out there. So keep your (linux) security awareness in good working order!
