Re: Anti-spam-iotics

No, more like the flu. You can try to wipe it out but it adapts too quickly. You say UNIX and Win7 are pretty secure...until someone combines a toehold exploit with a privilege escalation and BOOM, you're dead meat again. The thing about this security business is you have to be lucky all the time, they only have to be lucky once. And they have millions of targets (and growing) to choose from.
