Just for fun I went to Steve Gibson's website and scrolled down to the Shields Up section. I had it test Knoppix for security.
Bottom line Steve Gibson completely FAILED! He was unable to retrieve ANY info about my system. The comments generated was that this was very unusual for a Windows based PC. Ha!
There I was screaming at my monitor. It's not Windoze!!!! It's Knoppix. Just plain ole HD install Knoppix.
Try it yerself:
