[QUOTE="rman, post: 94207, member: 23"] The challenge, is to get the virus to executed by a privileged account. Hopefully most people will be smart enough not to give permission to an application that request a pass word, if they don't know what it will do. I received on the average 7 security alerts on various operating systems a day. Most of the alerts are geared toward M$ adn linux. I am not saying it could not happen, but It will take a very clever person to get the virus to spread, like it does in the windows environment. The one thing that I can say for sure is, the only safe computer, is the one in the box that has never been turned on. [/QUOTE]
