I've seen trojans/viruses get into systems through a number of ways (back in college, I spent some time researching viruses and even had a collection I used for testing in an isolated environment).

same here :-). Students are very kind to installt hings on blocked computers. regular ghost (gpart on floppy and linux backup partition) where very good.

Thing is, if you download openoffice from openoffice.org and you know it's clean, then a ZoneAlarm-like program can checksum it. If the program becomes infected and the AV software doesn't catch it, the second layer of protection can catch it and inform the user that the program was changed.

*virus* can infect and AVG is very good as finding them, real trojan are from the apps themselves. and users using only official repository get never infected, but many clic on any spam they receive and yes yes yes... The only users I know that have virus are ones that refuses minimal security jdd NB: I will stop arguing here, we are too far away from openSUSE IMHO. Do you know the joke: the greater virus is Windows: it spreads the world, crashes the computers :-) -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
