Hi everyone, i was wandering all about this talk on Canonical having a security backdoor to the Ubuntu os. Is there the same issue with Zorin?

OK, best thing to do is:

1. Download the manual - link here:

and read the section on Privacy.

2. Turn the Firewall on - just like Ubuntu, the default is off - goodness knows why - Zorin could learn from Makulu - Firewall on by default and ClamAV (antivirus) included in setup!
