Compulsory Computer protection
Australians could be forced to install anti-virus protection on their computers and have their access to the internet shut down if they did not remove software infections, under a proposed crackdown on cyber crime. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/news/general/compulsory-computer-protection-mooted/1865797.aspx?storypage=1 Whats you option? tom_a_sparks Light travels faster then sound, which is why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

Simple just install clamav and then there can be no claim that you don't have an anti-virus component! but in all seriousness if the Government wants to treat us like kindergarten kiddies then we need to think seriously at the next election ... I don't see this bearing fruit, it appears (to me) just to be a simple scare tactic ... George W has to be the best person to have pulled of the fake fear policy along with John Howard...

My opinion is that international lawsuits are extraordinarily impractical and that this will only expose Australian developers to risk.

Maybe it's a by-product of the censorship scheme? it by it's very nature cancels out a foreseeable legal loophole of people downloading illegal content and saying it was in fact a Trojan or remote-administration / worm.
