i need security/IT expert opinion pls. MULTIPLE questions. Malwares in bsd v, linux, macs, unix, windows? i need security/IT expert opinion pls. Malwares in bsd v, linux, macs, unix, windows Until now, just about how many malwares are there that infects bsd variants, linux variants, macs, unix, & windows ? i've heard windows has about 110-130,000 malwares linux has about 40 (some say about 300) is/are there any website(s) that counts/compares/malware threats and their numbers to computer OS ? Whats your opinions on the statement "Linux hard to be infected because very few people use it and the crackers don't want to waste time infecting a few computers. They want to infect the largest number they can, and, that means windows computers" . . . bcause i believe, technically, from the scratch, linux was built with better security than windows. Some say linux is built by hackers&crackers, so it's harder to infect linux. Also, some say, in hacker/cracker communities&competitions, windows is for exercise, while linux is used in the finals pls be objective&/technical, thanks a lot :)

Question for all you Linux and Network Security people. Could you please recommend a replacement for MSN IM?

We don't have any objection setting up a Linux server. Management is unwilling to spend anything on it at this time, so freeware is best if possible.

Or will I have to learn to do it myself :)?
