Cooling the friction when Linux meets anti-virus
Naked Security writer Carole Theriault mentioned last week that Sophos had just won (yet another!) VB100 award for Ubuntu. That's right. Anti-virus on Linux. As you can imagine, it wasn't long before we had our first outspoken comment:

They want to run an insecure system, so be it, but leave me out of it. And certainly don't expect me to expend my CPU cycles to try (in vain) to solve Windows' security issues."
