Thread: Secruity and separate accounts.


i'm real, real newbie forgive newbiness.

if set 2 different accounts on system, can interact 1 through common program firefox?

instance, have 1 account called "bob" , called "gary".

if log "bob" of on-line banking , such, can cause security problems if log "gary" , infect firefox trojan or kind of nasty adware?

in other words, separate accounts on ubuntu separate?

can give me.

not sure mean interact, both accounts have access firefox.

if log "bob" of on-line banking , such, can cause security problems if log "gary" , infect firefox trojan or kind of nasty adware?
since malware linux rare non-existent, it's not of concern begin with. use common sense while using computer.

they separate accounts in same respect on windows or mac computer. if 1 user hoses machine, it's hosed other user too. that's not big concern other os's.
