About linux and viruses

 Linux protects your computer. Viruses, trojans, adware, spies ... Windows allows them to easily infiltrate your system. A Windows system (connected to the Internet and installed with the default "Service Pack 2") is infected within an average of 40 minutes. (in fact, from time to time it only takes 30 seconds.) Of course you'll get a set of security measures.

1) You can install Firewall, 2) You install Antivirus software, 3) You install Anti-Adware software, 4) You will get rid of Internet Explorer and Outlook. (you can replace them with Firefox and Thunderbird), and finally; 5) you pray that the pirates will not be smart enough to pass them, because if a security breach occurs, Microsoft will resolve it within a month. (you don't always expect it to be so fast). Or, you can install Linux on the short path and listen to your head. You don't have to worry about viruses and other pests. As we said in the "Forget the Viruses" section, open source software (eg Linux) means that more than one eye examines all the codes. Every programmer on planet Earth can download, examine the code, and easily see what might be vulnerable. On the other hand, the source code for Windows (it is a kind of "recipe"), however, can be seen by a limited number of people working at Microsoft. Hundreds of thousands (maybe a million) now, only a few thousand people. That's a big difference. But in fact, the main issue is the kind of deficits rather than how much the system is. If there is a lot of openness, but if no one has noticed (including pirates), or if they disclose triviality, the pirates cannot inflict serious damage. What is involved here is how long the gap is solved after it has been noticed. If an Open Source software has been found open, anyone in the open-source community can browse and resolve this. Often the problem is that the drug (and related updates) is taken care of in a few days, sometimes a few hours. Microsoft does not have so much manpower, they generally manage to offer a solution after a period of one month (and even shared). This is enough time for the pirates to jump into your system.

If your computer is turning off without asking you, if you are facing any kind of ad windows that are interesting and meaningless, if your request is sent to your entire list without your knowledge, then you should suspect that your computer has a virus. The main reason for this is that Windows is installed on your computer.

It is very difficult to find viruses in Linux. "We do, but we don't see it often" is a wrong expression. The situation can be better expressed with the word "If you really see a virus in Linux, come and tell me". Of course, it is not possible to eat viruses on Linux. But, Linux makes it really hard to do that. If we come to the reasons:

Many people use Microsoft Windows, as hackers want to do (or control) as much damage as they can, which is why they target Windows. But that is not the only reason; Apache Web Server (which is a program that sends Web pages to your browser when you type a web server address and is located on the opposite computer) has the highest market share, although it is open source, but is much less attacked than Microsoft's server.

Linux uses an intelligent authorization management. Windows (and each program you install) has the authority to do what you want in the system. If you want to penalize your system, which leads to the destruction of your work, you can go to the system folder and delete the file: Windows will not stop you. Of course, when you restart the computer, trouble will start. Now think about it, if you can go to the system folder and delete those files, other programs can do it, and it can ruin everything. Linux does not allow it. You have to enter the Administrator password when you want to intervene in system related things (in the system you cannot interfere with the system if you are not an Administrator) Viruses cannot go anywhere they want and cannot change or destroy because they do not have the authority to do so.

More eyes means less security. Linux is an open source software, which means that every programmer in the world can look at the code (the "description" of the program) and help the developers, "Isn't that a security breach?" allows you to say.
