No matter which OS you run, good computing habits should be followed, eh?
Windows 7 is rootkit resistent, but not proof - you will need a scanner such
as MSE (see below).
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
Don't be so sure. Just as an example, RedHat Linux has an errata list as
long as my arm. Out of the box it has more holes than Swiss Cheese. "Free"
is a relative term there, BTW.
yes...I did switch over to Linux ...
but am seriously trying to see how Win7 handles such things as root kits
as there are a few things I still need Windows for
If you install security software such as Microsoft Security Essentials
(MSE), your computer scans files for such things before running them. MSE,
apparently, is very good at catching potential rooting:
