I keep getting msn messanger spam messages. Not sure how that happened. Does that mean my device could have a virus or is it just my msn with the problem? Is there a way to get rid of it?
spam you recieve on msn is NOT you're fault, its your friends that have the viruses.
AFAIK: No gui password prompt program is available for the N900 and thus that specific solution would require manual work in making one. The other possibility is you set yourself a user password (leave root locked unless you have specific reason to need it), and then completely change your sudoers file to prompt for a password in order to gain root.
sudo can be configured to have a grace period with no password required after sudo with a password has been run. So, without changing any .desktop files or altering anything except a one time change to sudo configuration, a user could open a terminal session and type:
Code:
sudo pwd
and enter the user password, then take any other action that invokes sudo and not need a password. After timestamp_timeout expires without a sudo command being executed, a password is again required. The default it to always require a password. timestamp_timeout is set by /etc/sudoers. The n900 /etc/sudoers file does not have an entry present for timestamp_timeout, so that would have to be added and the NOPASSWD entries would have to be changed as well.
However, you would then need to go through and modify every .desktop file and have it launch in a terminal window instead of directly so that your terminal will ask for the password. Not elegant, and certainly not easy... not to mention extremely likely to brick the device unless you know exactly what you're doing.

N900 is based on Linux and I haven't heard of a virus out for Linux yet. Most Linux antiVirus software packages just scan for virus' on other platforms to avoid passing them on in infected programs.
If you mean the camera facing the user then the app in question needs to support it. Video calls over GTalk can work with it if the other end supports video calling too.
hi the owners of 900
as we are just a step back to have USB support for our device.
in case if it ll support flash disks and other storage devices as well.
don't we need a kind of antivirus to protect our device????
