I wished that can be done when logon as a regular user. Every now and then,
I need to install/delete some files as a regular user and always got the
error messages saying no enought priviledge. Will any virus have such a
priviledge? If so, my Linux computer is now full of virus mainly because I
intentionally use it to read all my e-mails that contain virus. Alas, it is
still running in the office 24/7 since 10/5/3. Does anyone out here know how
much of the CPU resources are wasted to run anti-virus/trojan and
ad/spy-aware software on-demand on any MS OS based system? Wouldn't it be
nice if those wasted CPU resources can be used to perform some other tasks?
