I completely deleted the Cortana files from my pc, which actually broke the windows start menu, so I replaced it with Classic Start Menu, which is better anyway. I'm glad 3rd parties are here to pick up microsoft's slack.,(reply>), @A True Brit 99.9% will show up as 100% in a short timespan though, 100% secure is none existent and not achievable, It'll always be vulnerable somewhere if someone really tried to target you...,(reply>), @Mark Jacobs Ok, so basically the same story: no real answer.<br>Meanwhile, 30+y, over 5000 installations on my own 100+servers and 200+stations and a lot that I managed (can't estimate), with some withstanding 250k attacks per second... (I was an ISP between 1995-2008)<br>only one compromised when iptables was down and ftp login was test pswd:123456. In 60sec my diag told me about the intrusion though...<br><br><br>Do you care to guess windows server stats?<br><br><br>So yeah, I can make a linux server 100% secure. History says I can. The rest is philosophic fluff, with all due respect.,(reply>), @A True Brit nothing is 100% secure, humans make mistakes that others <b>can</b> (and will) exploit. You simply can't state <b>nothing</b> will happen to your data security wise. Other then that it's highly unlikely your data will be used maliciously as a consumer so even if something is less secure then Linux it doesn't make Linux the better choice.<br><br>Also physical access will always be an issue, especially when you <b>can</b> get attacked after you have logged in making all your security measures a wasted effort at that point.,(reply>), @Mark Jacobs <br><br>"Linux isn't 100% secure either."<br>could you please be a little more specific (and read my comment again)?<br>Your comment sounds like "you should not log in as root", and in my experience both statements are false, since in the last 30 years nobody could answer this simple question: "Why?",(reply>), @A True Brit Linux isn't 100% secure either. Better code your own OS so only you know what it does and how it does it...
