Hey note that virus free is used symbolically and should not be taken to mean Unbreakable or unattackable. This further should not give you the carefree attitude to click or install any application out there.

I cant point to what happened unless under an audit of the machine, just to advice you to apply the same restrictions as on windows i.e. popups, and any random software out there etc etc etc.

I've used Ubuntu Linux for a while now, virus free as per the reputation. However, something strange happened; while working I realize that PHP and HTML files have been altered, with a new 'iframe' html tag with a malicious site as the src. ALL the files in the public directory. I experienced this in windows long time ago; it's a fujack.

On the other hand: settling in a new office and the internet service is yet to conclude their work. The place has several wireless networks. I tried to explore with a free one; and I'm beggining to realize that doing this was probably suicide.

What could have happened to the maverick? It was really humiliating...
