      How does Webroot work and how do we measure the efficacy of our software?

      Here's what it looks like now. Ignore the eth dialog box, it was stuck there for some reason. The second image is the wizard you run through. It's really easy to set up.

      What OS distro is that? Looks good.

      Fedora 23 with Gnome 3.

      The obscurity that you're going to is the move to Linux and the fact that the malware writers haven't bothered to write malware for Linux yet.

      MAC users could say the same thing, until they couldn't. It's been several months or more now since a MAC variant of ransomware has been available.

      See, you could have previously just as easily said - I want to move everyone to a MAD because there's no ransomware there, well that would have worked until it didn't... the same WILL happen to Linux.

      But you can skip the entire concern of this specific avenue of problem by moving to SharePoint or ownCloud.

      I'm not saying move to Linux because only Windows gets viruses. I'm saying I want to move to Linux because I hate Windows. Maybe that was too subtle...

      oh, yeah it was too subtle, because hating windows has nothing to do with the security hole we were talking about.

      I'm just trying to find any good excuse to switch, give me a break! If I can twist the subject into a justified transition, you bet I will. 🙂

      True, for just 5 licenses it's not that much. Both Amazon and Newegg have some crazy deals sometimes, so it pays to check them both first before buying direct.

      My dad had the best stories ever, though. He used to machine his own rockets and make his own fuel. A lot like in "October Sky." He once set the barn on fire when he was a kid trying to launch a new rocket in a rain storm from inside the barn.

      He has told me that story. Hilarious.

      I'm interested to see how this new one works... we had the old version but ditched it almost immediately. Now I just need some spare licenses...

      ... require more fees for more throughput being used on the same device.

      This is what drives me crazy about companies these days... Let me pay for a box that is sized for the network I want. If it can handle more than my current bandwidth, great! Don't make me buy a paper license just because I have a 300Mbit internet connection and your box is rated for 200 megs, but I am aactually seeing the full 300.

      This is why I prefer to build my own firewall... Shorewall + Snort (or Suricata) + DansGuardian +ClamAV = Win. (Or you can just use pfSense)... Gotta build a beefy box to make it all run nice and smooth and not choke your internet.... But still probably a far cry cheaper than Palo Altos, et al.

      You must have loads of fun troubleshooting all those individual systems when something is blocked that shouldn't be.

      Ha ha ha. Nope. If it's a website, it's DansGuarian. If it's an App, then it is Snort / Suricata blocking it. 🙂 (In my last build, I used Suricata to block the applications we didn't want on the network).

      If it's not Snort / Suricata, then it's the Firewall not allowing outgoing ports.
