Re: Help !! VIRUS?!!!!
 

Not to be harsh, but if you "don't understand nothing about phones , softwares and stuff,"

Why did you venture into unstable land anyways?

Very few viruses/malware have been created for Linux at the moment. The majority of the ones people have encountered are "social experiments," simply proving that malware is possible on Linux.

People create viruses 1.) To gain personal information about others 2.) To use said information for immoral gains

A small amount viruses are created just to mess with people (i.e. the Life is beautiful for Windows).

Hi.

Every journey starts with but a single step.

A better way perhaps would be for you to make a start with the instructions and ask questions as you progress if you get stuck.

For instance.

1. Have you got a computer you can use?
2. Do you know what version of operating system is on that computer?

From the above you can at least make a start with identifying the correct instructions to follow from the update tablet wiki.

Absolutely agree with you.
So proves the point, Windows more fun due more people affected. And most Limux users know what they do so easy to find and kill every malware.

3) Just because the device has CPU, can run programs and has network connection. Most botnetworks are happy just to get access to computer resources, they don't necessary care about personal information. Just to have one bot more to their botnetwork, so they can sell DoS attacks and blackmail and sell/use bots as anonymity proxies.

I am very concerned about Maemo because the current security policy is as swiss cheese. People give straight *.deb links and people install them (dpkg) without any authentication check.

It is just a matter of time or perhaps we all aready have a sleeping horse in our devices.

My opinion is that some of the documentation about flashing is quite scary. I remember seeing one page that helpfully lists about twenty or thirty options you might want to try. Any newbie not scared by that page has to be crazy.

Flashing itself is pretty easy. Figuring out how to flash when you don't know what is going on is not necessarily easy.

I suppose there are Youtube videos on how to flash. Are there links to them somewhere?
