We begin by quoting a few facts that can be very upsetting for most fans of Linux and Unix. Computer viruses seriously the first time in Unix systems. And without a doubt the worst computer virus outbreak in history occurred on Unix systems about twenty years ago. The good news is that the lessons of this attack were integrated into ongoing development of Unix and Linux systems. Of course, to some extent been integrated in Windows security, and is also goodnews.
One of the reasons Linux beats Windows for virus resistance is that Linux is open source. When an attack occurs, hundreds or even thousands of engineers start working on solutions and post them online. You do not have to wait for anti-virus company to get somewhere.
What other factors make Linux systems more resistant to viruses? For a virus enters into force must be part of a running program. Just open an attachment in MicrosoftThe Windows environment does the trick. The last time (pun intended) I opened an electronic greeting card on the Windows team has been rewarded with a terrible virus. It took long enough to thoroughly remove even with the help of technical support. The Linux systems will not launch the virus unless the user reads the email, save the attachment, edit the appropriate permission assigning execution permission to the attachment and then explicitly executes the attachment. Unless all these steps happen that the virusremains in quarantine. While education for Linux users can perform all these operations to release the virus for this sad state of affairs does not happen often in well-organized systems.
Another effect of the virus limits in the Linux world. Ordinary Linux users do not have permission to do many things. Even if a virus is unleashed that normally would not go very far. Going beyond the individual computer requires administrative power - the kind held by the root user on Linux and administratorsWindows. Regular users of Linux generally does not grant root permissions. In contrast, a newly installed Windows automatically creates the first user as an administrator. In our mind is asking for trouble.
Just think - a standard Windows user has permission to install files that can run rampant and destroy many good things. It seems that the Windows operating system, applications and data are inextricably intertwined. As if to askproblems.
I've read that bananas are in danger. It seems that biodiversity is a thing of the past, bananas, or at least land in the world trade in bananas. So there is a possibility that a banana banana split will be a powerful virus thing of the past. The wide variety of Linux systems offers some protection. And a lamp around the world, as explained in the following two articles.
