The only things we can say is : on a Linux system under *appropriate* utilisation by *users and administrator(s)*, a virus can't propagate through users. But, if the virus is not a virus, but a worm, nobody's fully protected ! Linux, as other software (hmmm, less than winblow), is not 100% secure, some exploits stay in the kernel, and must be detected and patched by a developer before any cracker. Second thing : Un*x users are generally more knowledge on computers (so, in security also). I don't have accessible good links about this topic, but Google is your friend ;o). Sorry for my (very) bad english. I hope you understand the genereal idea. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
