That's a pretty strong statement.. Are you absolutely sure there are no viruses for linux in the wild?
It would seem to me that the time to think about protection is before you have a problem. Granted, you will never catch everything up front. However, thinking about and dealing with the trojan, virus , issue is not too different from the steps we were taking to notify about unintended actions of programs. I.e. Getting a notification and deciding on how the action should be handled, etc. I think Norton Internet security does an excellent job on windows.. It knows about many, many applications and versions of them, can tell you if it was modified or contains known threats including trojans, lets you know when a program does something it was not explicitly allowed to do and does it pretty well without making my laptop crawl. Combined with a rootkit detection system of some kind it would be great, but I am sure there are still holes in it I don't see. Right?
I would use it on my phone if it existed for that platform. --Tim _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
