RE: My setup

Browser(s): For personal reasons, I do not browse the web from my computer. (I
also have not net connection much of the time.) To look at page I
send mail to a demon which runs wget and mails the page back to me.
It is very efficient use of my time, but it is slow in real time.

Then how are you accessing MalwareTips? I'm not understanding what you just said.

Your level of security risk is way too high for a GNU/Linux user.
You don't really need an antivirus for linux, but Comodo offer one if it'll put your mind at ease.

RE: My setup

doesn't really sound logical. If I had to do that I wouldn't go on the internet.

I updated my post, re-read it please.

No, everybody making proprietary software is out to get you. Also Comodo is proprietary software and is malware itself. All proprietary software is malicious software.

ClamAV?
I managed to use GNU/Linux without tearing my hair out over propriety software.
I used and still use Opera as my web browser, by the way.

No, If the Anti-Malware makers were making malicious software then people wouldn't trust them. They are making software that doesn't infect your computer (Rogues will do that though).

Value your freedom or you will lose it, teaches history. "Don't bother us with politics," respond those who don't want to learn.

I still think that people should be allowed to have a profitable business without being the work of the devil.

Proprietary software is a way to control the user. One does not have the freedom to modify or redistrubute the software, one cannot tell if the software is spying on the user or not due to the fact you cannot look at the code.

I find that trust allows me to go without having to look at source code to know something isn't malware.

Even so, I do not believe in intellectual property. Software should be open for all.

Well if you made a piece of software that you thought would help people and wanted to sell it then would you give them the coding that could potentially put you out of business to them?

How are people going to make a living should software be open for all?
What are you using to go on Malware Tips?
How much did you pay for it?

RE: My setup

You can buy GPL licensed software if you wanted. It is free to be redistrubuted however you wish. As long as it is under these terms. No more, no less.


The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).

The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1).

Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).

The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Well considering he is using GNU/Linux and a free web browser, he did not pay anything. Unless you mean the computer, but that would be hardware not software, making your question invalid.

But this also conflicts with another of his posts, in which he said:

I refuse to have a cell phone because they are tracking and surveillance devices. They all enable the phone system to record where the user goes, and many (perhaps all) can be remotely converted into listening devices.

In addition, most of them are computers with nonfree software installed. Even if they don't allow the user to replace the software, someone else can replace it remotely. Since the software can be changed, we cannot regard it as equivalent to a circuit. A machine that allows installation of software is a computer, and computers should run free software.

When I need to call someone, I ask someone nearby to let me make a call.

Which implies that this extends past software and into hardware as well.

I'll keep it up as an archive, however.
