Google buys GreenBorder (soon to be free?)

Any software that deals with Trojans. Trojans are similar in how they get you to Phishing.

 

Apologies to the thread owner, we're waay off topic now.

That is a good link though a bit dated. I'm not aware of many recent freebsd vs. linux links other than archived messages. I like the fact that with a BSD, all components for an (infrequent) release are made to work together, unlike Linux which has (frequent) kernel releases that happens to include the latest stable versions of components. To me that means that BSD is much more stable (a key element of security) and the OS won't change soon (less touching required). Components such as the filesystem (UFS2 on BSD, Ext3fs on Linux) are different, and on BSD have been around longer.

Again apologies to the thread starter on being off topic.

 

Hello,
I was saying I have very little or no software to uninstall.

I get concerned whenever a big company like Google or M$ buys out a small one. Microsoft has a way of taking a good idea and weakening or watering it down to the point of being useless. Google's data collection tactics concern me. Too many apps and websites end up connecting back to them. I'd be concerned about outgoing data with any software that Google is involved with.

Hi all.

Been a silent reader of this forum for quite a while. Thought I might as well start contributing

Just found this Gartner article which throws in a few more hints about Googles plans for Green Border.

Cheers.

 

Good find stoppit!

Very good writeup - well organized and rational thinking.

The comment on kernel hooking is right on; Vista prevents kernel hooking and future updates to XP (SP3) may also interfere with kernel hooking, so cooperation with Microsoft is imperative. The kernel hooking was part of the reason GreenBorder needed kernel expertise, and why GreenBorder was able to protect; System Calls, COM objects, and User Shell entry points.
