McAfee is a magical product indeed. Not only does it ensure your Intel CPU is always enjoying the benefits of TurboBoost, but it also provides a faithful emulation of a 5400 RPM drive when using tmpfs. Marvelous technology. (And if you have a kernel-level problem, don't worry - the enterprise support you're paying so much for won't answer your calls, because McAffe taints the kernel).
NSA: So we’ve figured out here is the internet-facing box. The web server that they’re using was not patched, wasn’t updated, so I was able to actually use the known exploit to gain the right access to that machine. [MUSIC] Once I did that, I put an implant down on that machine because it was pretty safe. It was actually a Linux server and the nice thing about Linux is no antivirus, right? I’m not super concerned. Especially because it’s a web server, I don’t worry about a user seeing the screen and using it and see something weird going on. But anyway, so I get down on that box, sit there for a little bit. Everything looks pretty good. There’s not much to see; it’s a web server and it’s got a website on it, got a database back end to it. Not a whole lot going on.
A Linux virus that Just Works... I don't see it happening. Maybe if your distro officially supports it otherwise there will be missing libraries or incorrect drivers.
