Re: Is it still good practice to reinstall everything after you are owned?

Depends on what you're reinstalling. I prefer Arch Linux or Slackware (because of security specific updates), once installed (the bare minimum system) I harden it by auditing the system itself, and then I keep an ever watchful eye on advisories. Windows is a virus itself tbh. VR, Umair -------- Original Message -------- On Sep 19, 2017, 07:37, Georgi Guninski wrote:

It used to be, but after reading about windows viruses I am not sure it is.
