Re: Antivirus for Android?

Hi Lucas, I'm no Android expert, but I do believe Android has a strong security model (provided you are using the latest version) which relies on the sandboxing of all apps. I'm unaware of any recent large-scale attacks targeting Android users. If your friend is diligent and uses only truste

GOG.com [aka Good Old Games] launches "FCK DRM" campaign

They have a nice website IMHO, I thin I remember seeing them being active at the Gamescom (on a photo) and they link to the FSF, which is nice: https://www.gog.com/news/the_fck_drm_initiative ___ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfe.org https://

Alexandre Oliva: Who's afraid of Spectre & Meltdon
