Or, install Linux and just about forget about the
problem - a wild guess is that the ratio of vulnerability
is 1,000:1, MS to Linux.
Or, you could run everything through a Linux firewall
box.
Or, as one friend did, he set up a Sun firewall, then a
Linux box, then his children's XP box.
I doubt there is anything out there written to get past
BOTH Sun and Linux! :-)
I have not run anything on my Internet connected Linux
boxes for several years and have never had a problem -
though it is amusing to open viruses intended for MS
and look at them - viruses that would destroy a MS
install.
Yes, I know that I should run a Linux protective app
but I keep changing versions of Puppy and never get
around to it!
