RE: Which Antivirus to Use?

in #security7 years ago

I really hate android. They started off with allowing installs from any website you pointed it at. Installing programs without your permission and without your knowledge.

I really really hate microsloth for their very poor security.
Such as, on linux, if I give the computer to a normal person, they will never need root access. On microsloth, they need administrator access all of the time.

On linux root access means you have access to everything, and can do anything.
In winders, administrator access is not enough for removing things like viruses, or old programs.

On linux all of your operating system files are owned by root. And can only be changed by root.
In winders, anyone can dump stuff in /win32/system and does.

So, I strongly suggest linux. There is even a distro out there that looks almost exactly like XP

Sort:  

I just love how on Windows almost all apps require admin access, so basically it's worth nothing. Plus the admin access is not password protected, it's just there. So any virus can probably bypass it.

In the Linux kernel different rings are isolated. So ring 0 is the kernel, and all outer rings have well designated privileges for each security layer.

So you know for use that the user privilege is just that, and any malware in this space can't normally interact with the root system.

Normally, because there is always some kind of kernel bug that creates privilege escalation. But it's less and less, the Debian team is working hard to patch all bugs, I support them 100%.

I think Open source is the future.

Yes there is a Windows 10 unofficial skin for Cinnamon desktop. But gonna be careful with these, they are possible trademark violations.

And Microsoft doesnt joke around, they are big IP bullies. Besides the Windows UI is just so ugly with all those big ugly buttons.

I find the Gnome/Cinnamon/KDE Desktop envionments to be so much more elegant, simplistic, and comfortable.
