omg guys he protects himself from malware lol what a sheep amirite baa baa
Hey guess what, driveby downloads don't care how much of a badass you are on the internet, but good luck with that scheme
If windows isnt open source then why should i waste my tiime protecting nsa backdoored spyware os with spy/scam/scareware?
and besides there more efficient ways to rotect your windows gaming pc with just adblocks and looking at the url before you click or d/l anything...
but then again, i assume people smart enough use windows for games and gnu/bsd for everything else.
How do you know linux doesn't have a NSA backdoor? When was the last time you looked through the kernel source code? What about your distributions? Do you know how each part of your operating system works? Stop spreading FUD.
Adblocks and paying attention to the URL isn't everything. DNS Hijacking? I had that happen to be with spybot before.
How fast do you think URL redirect works? Or do you not trust the people who write your browser plugins to detect that?
Do you know why a trojan horse is called a trojan horse? A trojan horse masquerades as something you'd /want/ to download but is actually malware. How do you suppose you're going to stop that with "adblockers and looking at URLs"?
And don't you assume linux is perfect.
Do you remember this? http://www.securityweek.com/ssh-backdoor...x-rootkits
In, I think, the 3.2 version of the kernel buried somewhere inside there is a comment similar to "THIS IS BADLY WRITTEN".
Don't assume GNU/BSD is perfect. Did you know OS X is based on FreeBSD, among other things? Check this out: http://macscan.securemac.com/spyware-list
I don't really know what you against Windows.
