Possible solution to virus and trojan

... for now the best sollution is at www.apple.com , but the more people switch the more of a target they'll get.

don't buy a mac !!!

Linux.

There already virus for the mac and a couple of hackers for it, especially OS 9.0 and up.

Maybe...but i always though that Linux was for the elitist, not the main public or costumer. And to my beleif...it is still the case. I could be wrong on this one, it's been a long time since i tried it out.

The nice thing that software does, is that it doesn't target the virus or trajan, but the main areas in a system where they will attack. From the software list it protects and watch:

-batch and script files in the Windows directory and key directories below
- memory buffer overflow
-applet,dll,driver modification
- protection of Browser Helper Objects,settings,toolbars,searching
-registry run-key,shell command
-screen saver and finally some key files for windows like win.ini

I saw some slow down on the connection and browser operations in cunjunction with Kerio firewall, but it did not see it with zonealarm. So i have this software + zonealarm + Norton, and that combinason seems to work well.

[B]I will do a research about it. I have a second hard drive with only a couple of things on it. Maybe it would be time to use an optionnal system.

Linux Suse looks a lot like a Mac OS 10 interface. I find it interesting and will try the free version. Doesn't cost much too...Thanks for the tip.
