That would be defeating the purpose. Of course "M$" can't do this, they can't afford to pay software developers in spite of the dollar sign....
You have a point, but it's part of the OS and not a add-on application. Microsoft introduced limited user accounts with the NT systems, but this...
Assuming this article from Wikipedia is accurate, there are other reasons besides ensuring the financial demise of security software developers....
You might want to try a Linux live CD and see if it can read your floppy. Doesn't cost anything except the download time and a blank CD.
It might depend on how strong your password is. If you choose your dog's name for the password, it might not be too difficult to guess :-). I...
If someone has physical access to your computer, probably what HKEY1952 posted. Otherwise just don't run as admin. This advice is not real...
OK, in that case just try out a few of them, as already suggested, and take which ever one seems to run the best. Virus Bulletin tests these AVs...
You started this type of thread before and were told then that you don't need an AV for a Linux desktop system. Apparently you still don't believe...
Windchild explains all of this very well, much better than I could. If you are going to try a LUA, consider installing SuRun, which makes it a lot...
I like using both. I haven't considered not using one or the other, but it certainly wouldn't be impossible. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
SRP isn't difficult, have a look at this guide. Takes about five minutes to read. You might have to follow a set of instructions to set it up, but...
This is something that 99.9% of the population has no desire to do, but try right-clicking it and run as admin. The vast majority use their...
According to this, KMail reads and writes html mail. You might want to check out Zimbra Desktop, it's also cross-platform. I've never tried it but...
Nobody said it was a panacea but it is much, much safer than running as admin and that isn't debatable. The reason for a software restriction...
Halleluja, someone with some sense. I never contended that LUA and SRP are invincible, but it's an excellent start and available in the OS, all...
It also gets annoying to see people say LUA is useless and only for children when they don't know what they're talking about. Everyone here is...
That's why a software restriction policy is a good addition to LUA. The concept is simple. Where you can execute something, you can't write, and...
You and Franklin are obviously trying to outdo each other with ridiculous statements. Pray tell us uniniformed souls why your software...
Sounds like some sage advice :) You've got a point, breaking your own china is one thing, someone else's another.
Have you tried installing Outlook with Wine or Crossover? You can check their sites, if I recall correctly only Outlook 2007 is still a bit...
I would also cast a vote for Mint, I find it to be even easier to use than Ubuntu. I've downloaded Mint 7 but haven't gotten around to...
That statement is idiotic. I use the features built into the OS rather than depend on some software application that can crash, fail or be...
That looks pretty good if you have $150 to spend. I do this stuff on a budget, my ThinkCentre cost 64€ on eBay (with 1 yr. guarantee) and the...
Unless you're talking about some industrial-strength router like Cisco, Juniper, Lancomm, etc., my IPCop firewall is as good as or better than any...
Limited user account, software restriction policy, no autostarts for users, DEP and all unnecessary services turned off. I have a Linux firewall...
