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.

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.

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.

You keep saying that while at the same time you diss Windows. So you're

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

I'm not disputing that Linux systems could (theoretically) be infected

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.
