Wonder how many 'Hackers' were not even aware of the security holes in our hardware until it was smeared all over the internet
Re: dual boot windwoes/mint smoke loader malware
Hi all, yeah looks like it could get very interesting in the future.I think the problems are going to arise more with the commercial end of the market,admins not updating etc so as not to upset the general running of their systems but that could impact more on us mere mortals.WE shall only see.Any how all take care out there,Cheers.
