I have my suspicions (what are they?)

by btljooz Nov 25, 2005 8:06AM PST

It's like this:

It's a known fact that the same companies that manufacture radar guns for the police also manufacture radar detectors for the public keeping the police just a step or two ahead of the public.

This being said, ANYTHING may or may not be 'possible'...who knows for sure but the companies themselves.

Now, let's talk OS's:

Any OS is vulnerable to malware that is aimed at it. We all know Windows is the most popular but others are starting to get hit more and more.

If the OS writers would release code WITHOUT "vulnerabilities" and "holes" in the FIRST place would there be such a thing as 'malware'????

MY question is: Are the OS companies and Anti-Malware companies in cahoots?

Have YOU ever thought about THAT one?
