Actually, the thread wasn't about how good Linux is.....it was
about how a large percentage of the scanned Windows boxes were
compromised.

You were the one the interjected the linked article.

Of course they will, but again, attitude has a lot to do with
it. Intelligent debate with facts and information get conuter
facts and counter information back. D*ckheads get sh*t back.

But, I digress......the main story here wasn't how great Linux
is (or isn't), it was about compromised Windows boxes.

From a known Linux troll, done for mischief and guaranteed to incense a
good many posters on here. So, there's no excuse is there?

Just means one out of two users don't clean cookies.
Many AV's report cookies as "tracking cookies", and then bundle that
term into the "malware" category.
Very effective method of selling AV software....make people paranoid.

You ever get CCleaner running?
It had you stumped a couple of weeks ago.

And the reason they were scanned was someone thought they were
compromised! So over half of the suspect boxes had nothing wrong.

Of course you couldn't have compromised that many Linux boxes, as you
would have to double the installs just to get that many in the first place!

Wrap your fucking mind around the fact that is Windows users had 0.0025
malware issues, that would still be less infected PCs than Linux Minty

Actually, that's not more interesting. Why ? Because that's
the same story previously linked. People tricked into
installing compromised s/w, which happens daily to thousands
of Windows users. Try to keep up. And yes, I'm using Windows.

To be a bit more accurate....six months isn't 'almost a year'.

Regardless of the content of any post here that is related to
personal computing in any way, or comparison of any OS against
any other OS, or posts about any articles or blogs about any
shortcomings of any OS, I fail to see the connection to sex with
farm animals, and religious beliefs, and yadda, yadda, yadda.

It is more interesting because of how the headline and subject matter is
presented.
If you don't think so...who cares?

You're a really stupid, arrogant, POS linturd advocate loser.
You're not near as bright, or as smart, or as mentally quick as you
think you are and as you hope we all think you are.
Think again *CHUMP*!

Now post your irrelevant diatribe retort here *SPORT*-->
