ubuntu security
In windows I used to be paranoid about security with firewall, antivirus, antispyware and noscript addon to firefox.
Is it necessary to have noscript in ubuntu for security purposes?
Also in windows my firewall could be set to block applications ( such as all windows applications) or each time ask for internet access (such as updating antivirus and spyware applications) or have free reign (such as firefox and thunderbird). In ubuntu I am using firestarter which has my computer running in stealth mode (according to the sheildsup website test). How can I know what applications are accessing the internet and control what cant?
