The best way to fight viruses? stop using Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| Viruses, worms, malware, scumware, adware -
| these are all Windows infections. One rarely
| hears of Mac users experiencing these
| problems. I have been running Debian GNU/Linux
| on my workstation for nearly 10 years, I'm
| nothing short of a vey heavy internet user,
| and I have never had any kind of infection.

Linux and the sheer utter misery of viruses

| The only solution is to identify the infected
| desktops and take them off the network..
| pronto.
|
| An infected Windows workstation of XP vintage
| often needs a clean image reinstalled to fix
| it. This means of course keeping a stock of up
| to date Windows workstation images. Next, all
| staff and students (if it is a school or
| college) need to have their usb sticks checked
| to save them trashing their often even more
| vulnerable home machines. Lots of work.
|
| Thanks to SAMBA and OpenLDAP companies have
| been able to take advantage of the cost
| savings and performance offered by Linux
| infrastructure and keep their Windows
| workstations. They wish to do the latter
| because sometimes they need to use Windows-
| only applications and sometimes they wish to
| avoid any retraining overheads for their
| users.
