| 851659 | 2010-01-25 04:05:00 | IF - I were running XP-P with AVG and such and also had another 'puter with, say- PCLOS alongside of it, which would be the safest unit to use on https links? Is the fact that I don't even know if PCLOS has any security and that XP-P does - should that make a difference? |

| 851661 | 2010-01-25 06:35:00 | I sincerely hope that's so. I cannot tell if PCLOS even HAS any security for sniffers and PIN thieves and loggers and such - but I will make the ol' assumption that it is safer. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 851662 | 2010-01-25 07:24:00 | I was reading somewhere the other day that Linux while it may not be affected the same way as windows PC's it can harbor the infections and its possible that the Linux Computer will act like a Host, and infect any windows PC on the Same LAN if its not adequately protected . Dont know how much truth is in the matter, but its possible I suppose . Assumption is the mother of all :eek: (BEEEEEP) Last few words in this 10 sec clip ( . youtube . com/watch?v=wg4trPZFUwc" target="_blank">www . youtube . com) bit naughty ;) |
