Internet Explorer problems?

[Hoosier]

Of course my computers at home run without any anti-virus protection without any problems but then again one of them is running OSX and the other Linux Mint 10

Someone else mentioned virii for OSX, let me add that running Mint reduces your threats of Virus's or Malware, you open new risks similar to those servers face. It's much less likely, since you probably don't have that Linux machine sitting on the internet directly, but if you do (or have DMZ or static routes to it) make sure that it is locked down.

I'd suggest installing fail2ban (apt-get install -y fail2ban or yum install fail2ban) at a minimum.

I <3 UNIX, it's what I do all day long.

My linux machine is a netbook ... I use it mostly for surfing (which is 90&#37; of what I do on the computer at home) but its only online when its sitting on my lap.

My Mac gets used less and less but again its not left up and running when I'm not in front of it ... but I've been meaning to install fail2ban on the netbook.
