That wasn't the question.

The question was "So by running Linux, you're safe from infection by Trojan malware?"

Do you not know that a Linux system is just as vulnerable to this kind of malware as Windows, or do you know but carefully omit that piece of information?

I meant exactly what I wrote.

I run Linux. I have never been infected by any Trojan malware.

The vast majority of malware out there is targeted towards the ‘doze OS, thus the impetus for this thread. This one is geared towards Windows 10, and is so noted.

My Linux machines are not at risk from this latest version of Trojan.

Others, directly targeting Linux, are not the point of the article referenced.

But I gather you are more interested in sneering at Linux than helping spread the word to vulnerable users of this latest security threat.

Right, well, then bash away.

I’ll just let you go on then while those who need this information come across it and are made aware of the possible implications.

I hear there are some american ‘football’ games being broadcast on the telly. You might wish to look into that while you are attempting to deflect from the point of this thread.

Happy Thanksgiving, and do try to ease off on the Amber Nectar now, right?
