All files open OK for me on libre office so far.

Also there's office online, btw, for emergencies.

I don't know why some moron downvoted you, but the answer is maybe. For reference, I have always bypassed SSH firewall blocking by sneaking SSH packets within https.

The only way this won't be possible is if the government enforces installing a certificate to use the internet, so that they can do a man-in-the-middle-attack. I heard this is already being done in Afghanistan.

Buses kill kids too. Trains too. Airplanes too. Let's get rid of transportation.

Or is it about the numbers all of the sudden?

You've got to be a special level of dumb to think that anything in life has zero risk. Even food kills kids under certain circumstances.

What's wrong with empress? I really don't follow this stuff much.

Movies and audio are very rarely infected, almost never. That depends on bugged software, so that you can be relatively safe of.

Executables... well... no anti virus can protect you in reality from dumb double-clicks. This is because viruses are trained against anti virus software until they can't be recognized. There are mathematically an infinite number of patterns to run a program to trick all kinds of anti viruses. So in reality you can't be safe. Once that's done by an expert virus creator, the best you have to protect you is a behavioral detection of viruses, which may or may not work.

So, don't rely on anti viruses. They barely protect you from script kiddies and legacy viruses.

I don't even use Microsoft Office anymore after the last Medusa bug in msdt that compromised computers without opening the virus files. LibreOffice ftw. I miss nothing. Much safer.
