[QUOTE="RansomwareRemediation, post: 1046611, member: 88078"] antiviruses are not useless, for me Linux is much less secure than Windows and for several reasons: 1.Microsoft has many people dedicated to system security. 2. The number of users who use Linux is much less than the number of users who use Windows, therefore all malware is eaten by Windows. Is it putting in the scenario of what would happen if Linux received all the malware that attacks Windows? would it hold? the answer is no and it is simple. The number of people working for linux is very small. The only "advantage" I see in Linux is that it is a low level system, so the hardware has more direct conversation with the system, unlike Windows which is high level. Greetings. And another thing, the Windows kernel is encapsulated, even if there are bugs or security holes that can enter the kernel, that makes it much more secure. [/QUOTE]
