In fact, certain malware may even attack hardware redirection or hardware drivers, allowing for example, inject a key logger onto the device.<\/p>\n

In case of traditional thin clients<\/strong> from vendors they are not easily exploited by malware. Anyway, almost all of them have sufficient capacity to have antimalware software installed. So, even though the risk of being inffected by malware is very low, security can always be reinforced to prevent from potential attacks. <\/p>\n
