Lots of useful suggestions here, but my experience has been that if the machine is getting plagued by viruses then the user is doing ill advised things. Switching to Linux might help to a degree in restricting what they can do, but the more important thing might be for them to learn to be a bit more cautious. After all switching OS does almost nothing to improve the protection of things like online accounts with poor passwords. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
