Post Pls take this short survey on Linux Security (2-3 mins)


Hi all,

I am a newbie to the forum.
I am a high schooler conducting some market research and need your help for a project.
Please take this really short survey on google forms (should take only 2-3 mins)

[removed]

Would be greatly appreciated if you could take it.

Thanks!

Would be greatly appreciated if you could take it. Need it urgently for a project.

Thanks!
It maybe "urgent" to you, but it isn't to us. If you have a question, you should be posting that question HERE, and not expecting people to follow a link to some unknown site instead.

I for one will *not* be clicking your link.

jsbjsb001 thank you for your courteous response.

The link is to a Google forms survey btw. I couldn't post all the questions on here.

no.
especially not because it's hosted by google, which in itself is a security issue.

Then you probably should read the rules of the forum and do as they say, because posting homework questions is against the LQ Rules.

"Market Research"?? Sorry, no...aside from it being in Google Forms, the questions appear to be homework-related, or have been answered on this forum many, MANY times in the past.

ok, now i had to take a look at this.
a weird survey; half the questions are very, very basic (and slightly suggestive, i think), targeted at "normal" users, but the last two are very, very specific, targeted at security specialists?
no, google, you will not get my opinion on Linux malware & protection.

These kinds of posts pop up quite regularly, & get the same responses, time & again.

Security conscious users will not follow random links in posts like these.

Ask questions, get answers.
