Bullshit! It is you who can't get over the fact that Windows is

extremely secure, unless you're a stupid pc users who knowingly clicks

on everything that appears on the screen, which seems to describe you

and your friends.

Ahhh...now we finally get the truth out of you. You are an MS hating

linux advocate.



I have had to clean too many WINDERS machines

> as a result of WINDERS written malware/viruses.



Not Windows Vista/7, unless the users knowingly shot themselves in the

foot by clicking on anything and everything. I ran my business on

Windows (not "Winders") since the "Dos" days and never had an infected

box in my office nor at home. And my experience is typical of a Windows

user.

You imply that every Windows users is infected...hahaha...you're out of

Go fuck yourself, kangaroo man.

That would seem to be more up your alley - you're the one with the eight

channel noise generator - it would seem to go hand in glove.

A couple of reasons I'm here. One, you already know. For another, I need

the comic relief - running Linux is just so boring - it always works, no

viruses, no BSODs, etc.



BTW - you're the one spewing hatred. I'm perfectly fine with anyone in

the world using whatever works for them - evidently, you're not.

Or using an X client on the MS side - something like Hummingbird's

Exceed, though there are less expensive and even free solutions.

So Linux cant get viruses. Have a look here and ask yourself why have

Sophos and AVG produced AV software for Linux.

Frankie, I don't diss MS at all and you know it. I simply state, as I

have many times, that I eschew it for several reasons - what anyone else

uses is their business.

That's a good question. The only folks I know who use anti-virus software

on Linux do it to filter out MS viruses that they might be serving to

others - it's not to protect the Linux side.

It would appear that this Linux Trojan has been around in various

incarnations since about 2001 - Linux/Rst-B. NOT an MS virus to save the

You're a "typical" linturd lying advocate...in the class as alias.

As I've already stated, you have no real legitimate reason for being in

OK frankie - put up or shut up time. I don't diss MS - I defy you to give

an example otherwise - I simply don't express what I think about it. You,

on the other hand, routinely blast Linux like there's no tomorrow.



You really need help - though I'm far from certain that any analyst could

really help you out.
