[ubuntu-my] Ubuntu-my Digest, Vol 14, Issue 5

[Pepper Lim]

Since using Ubuntu, I have not bothered to install any Anti-Virus! My 
computers (plural) are running 24 hours a day hooked to the Internet. I 
also don't have any firewall running. I only depend on the router's 
firewall. No attacks so far and I am confident there won't be any 
attacks as Linux is secure from these threats, from what I have read.

I've full confidence in Ubuntu!
