You guys running Linux sure are cocky about these sorts of things. I have no doubt that Linux' time will come, and then it will be the MacOS X users, or FreeBSD users, or [insert random-os-that-still-remains-under-the-radar here] users that think they are "untouchable".
If Linux enjoyed the same type of (often less-than-computer-literate) user base that Windows does, there'd be plenty for virus writers and vulnerability exploiters to do. Linux is not necessarily more secure... just not a honeypot of large numbers of gullible users. But that's just my 2 cents (for which I will almost certainly earn the title of troll). ----- Original Message ----- From: "andu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Raditha Dissanayake" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Wang Feng" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2003 10:46 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] non-php issue > > On Monday, September 22, 2003, at 12:34 AM, Raditha Dissanayake wrote: > > > You can fix all of your problems by formatting your computer and > > installing a linux distribution. > > I'm getting all these security patches in my email from "Microsoft > Corporation" lately, maybe you want to use them since I run linux and > have no use for them :). > > > > > Wang Feng wrote: > > > >> hi everyone, could someone recommend a security mailing list, please? > >> > >> or you may like to answer my question below: > >> > >> i'm currently using outlook express 6 on WinXP Pro, and something > >> strange happened: > >> > >> everytime when i start the computer, some messages pop up and > >> attempts to sending the replies of the emails (in the > >> inbox) in behalf of me. > >> > >> my anti-virus software doesn't work at all. what's the problem. how > >> can i fix it? > >> > >> please help!!!! > >> > >> > >> cheers, > >> > >> feng > >> > >> > >> > > > > > > -- > > http://www.radinks.com/upload > > Drag and Drop File Uploader. > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
