Everything is secure compared to windows.
>80% of all viruses target Windows because that’s what most people use and they have most the market share for desktops. Not a lot of viruses being written today targeting AtariTOS for some odd reason.
There are >10,000 viruses out there and it’s a matter of degrees, not all or nothing.
“80% of all viruses target Windows because thatβs what most people use and they have most the market share for desktops.”
Except that is only half the story. Truth is except for just a couple exploits in the history of Linux, all the exploits had to be physically and manually entered into a local system that had been rooted with proper admin credentials. That requirement of having hands physically on your box and credentials to root it to make the exploit work is huge. Don’t let anyone you don’t trust near your box and you are golden with Linux. It cannot be exploited by hidden or remote efforts because it can’t be rooted.

Are you saying that their “security” is blocking viruses coming into your machine? That’s all?
That means I’m safe.π
