Thread: Viruses, windows apps, emulators, and WINE

-

hi all,

non-specialist using ubuntu (10.x) primary machine, installed on lenovo x200 laptop.

i'd know if windows viruses threaten ubuntu machine, or files saved on ubuntu-formatted hard drive, if windows viruses introduced system through emulated windows xp machine running in virtualbox. have guest additions set up, virtual machine can access, save, , delete files through "thinks" network (z) drive.

intuitively, seems risk. don't understand viruses or how work, appreciate advice. don't care if virtual machine becomes corrupted, want main machine (and files saved on it) safe.

know if windows viruses threaten system if accessed via wine. never able wine working in 9.x, , have not tried since upgrading 10.x.

heres article viruses in wine; http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/42031

Phoca Guestbook logger registret bruger af - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

-
hej, problemet jeg har installeret phoca guestbook og det virker næsten. hvergang en registreret bruger har skrevet gæstebogen og trykker på send, så bliver brugeren logget af. så skal man logge på igen og kan konstatere @ indlægget er sendt og står pænt gæstebogen. hvordan forhindrer jeg joomla! og phoca guestbook @ smide brugeren af? lidt mere om opsætningen for @ skrive gæstebogen, så skal brugeren være registreret. derfor har jeg lavet et menupunkt, som kun kommer frem, når brugeren er registreret. og når man logger ind så åbner joomla! gæstebog-siden. jeg har indstillet gæstebog-siden til @ være registrerede brugere og menupunktet er sat op til de samme brugere. jeg håber @ nogle kan hjæpe. -- jan rou hej igen, og lige en detalje mere, der kan have betydning: .htaccess er aktiveret. -- jan rou Board index Joomla!
