U.S. Gov't Planning To "Help Us" Secure Computers

BahdKo writes: "CNN reported today in this article that the U.S. government is working out a plan to help protect Cyberspace from attacks by "hackers and terrorists." This plan will include the distribution of government-provided software to help clean up insecure Windows installations. It's hard to picture myself executing government provided software on my workstation (we were supposed to be *increasing* the security of the PC's, right?)"

Re:Secure Linux

Key word here being the gov is talking about a Windows program. On linux source is pretty well audited, but on Windows even if they provide the source how many users at home are going to read it - and understand it?

Absolutely right. I myself am only about 65% of the way through the Linux kernel. When I'm done with version 1.2.4 I'm not sure what to do next. Any ideas?
