Hey, hope you still need this; I love seeing security stuff around:

Joseph L. (if you need anything else and you can message me)

1. How important do you consider computer security?
I am actually a security enthusiast, so information security is incredibly important, especially with so many institutions operating with sensitive data online.

2. Do you use Anti‐virus/Anti‐spyware software?
No, I use a built-in firewall (on linux) but all of my Windows systems do have AV software.

3. When was the last time you updated this software?
As soon as it is needed.

4. When was the last time you complete a full scan of your system?
Linux, never. Windows, weekly.

3. Which operating system do you consider most secure?
I consider BeOS most secure, BSD second, then Linux, Mac, and Windows (Windows 8 goes above Mac); Android and IOS are neither secure nor insecure. Generally I consider none of them secure, but the "more" secure ones are only that way because there aren't enough people that use them to warrant good hackers to attack them.

4. Do you use names, dates, or cities as your password?
Never.

5. Have you been a victim of identity theft? if not do you take extra precautions so you do not?
I have a different password for every site, and I stay away from malware (until I play with it on my isolated testing machines).
