Facts about Free Software and Data Security Issues

[fazalca]

Hi All,

We all are going behind the free softwares, but we don't know what is going on behind these softwares.. Just consider Fedora Linux , they are realing fedora before the Redhat enterpaise edition for checking or testing the working condition... (if u people noticed or not , when u r connecting to internet using fedora [i have tested 8, I am not sure about other release] , it will stream ur data over internet, check netstat).

Also lot of spywares and trojans will be bundled with those freeware softwares, antivirus softwares may not detect those spywares.. those spywares will collect your personal data (especially credit card no, netbanking credetials etc..) and send to the people who need it...

So beware of those applications.. try to use licenced softwares for the data safety..

I am expecting some comments on this....

With Warm Regards
