Hello there and welcome to LQ, hope you like it here.

Since you're new here you should take your time and read the LQ Rules. We're not similar to other boards on all points. For instance we'd rather not see members post threads about similar subjects across fora because it is inefficient. You'll see your duplicate threads get closed with the message:

Please post your thread in only one forum. Posting a single thread in the most relevant forum will make it easier for members to help you and will keep the discussion in one place. This thread is being closed because it is a duplicate of http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=477764.

Besides that this in the wrong forum since it's not a security issue. Also any questions not about GNU/Linux should be split off to fend for themselves in the /General forum.
