My understanding is that that problem has long since been fixed. But regardless, that's a problem with the application, not the OS. Steve M. Taylor said:
NO because it should not be possible for a user space program to GET to the OS layer ! Ok, but that's still just a matter of where the potential virus manifests itself. A virus in userspace can do just as much damage to the outside world as a virus in OS-space. As long as users can install and execute programs that can access the Internet, the world will be subject to the effects of spambots, botnets, etc. The OS doesn't matter. Regards, Craig Steiner |
