It always is the spaces in the big picture that make the picture, and not the little pixels.
Yes, but some folks might be out sick for security of your computer training day at work.
Individual computer users have no choice about security... they, are the 1st line of defense.
At places where businesses operate networks however, it is the sys admin folks and security folks who should be able to take over for folks. Most "macros" are static... once they are made they don't change... the security folks can set up a process where any macro created needs approval at IT before it gets distributed to others in any organization. So - with global SE Linux rules you could do this.
Individuals, well my experience is that they run it and say what the heck. Most do. This is sad, but true.
Regarding marketing an anti-virus product... doesn't the company mentioned have one for Linux... I wonder what their sales is like? So - any fear that would drive folks to buy their product is called FUDMarketing. Microsoft will be using this same technique to migrate folks to Vista in about 6 months or sooner... only they are marketing against themselves and will be saying we don't support our old products anymore for viruses and updates... we only support our new one (because it is more secure)!
SE LINUX and programs build around it, are the only salvation that we truely have... because SE LINUX, it's Free as in speech.
