Comment on Poll: Do you use antivirus software?parent

Comments

its really not a big deal to type sudo when installing stuff.

Also if you have any hope of dealing with servers in the wider world, you want to shake that habit pronto (and learn ssh keys).

Also your ironically complaining you can't disable your anti-virus software, but the fact is you have a sloppy approach to security that your IT department is protecting everyone in the company from.

I only stay logged in as root on my personal server. For more public servers I of course disable password logins, ssh in using a key file, etc.

(I wonder what about my post makes you think you should talk down to me and make (incorrect) assumptions about my approach to security?)
