Interscope:
I just got infected with a virus. Don't you just love that? And it's usefull to have linux and windoez on your comp even if windoez is your primary os. Just for the simple fact of crashing/virus/MS "updates"

BTW, it isn't my fault I got it, blame my sister. She so stupid that she can't tell the diffrence between .mp3 and .mp3.vbs

And i'm planning on switching too FreeBSD. I use mandrake now, am fairly happy with it, but I wanna try freebsd. The daemon looks cool... hehe.

Ctrl Alt Del 123:
Your running Windows without some kind of anti virus? Thats like walking into a gay bar with your pants down.

Calum:
if you want to not pay for antivirus software, you can get AVG antivirus for totally free. Still, you'd be better just using linux for the internet, it doesn't even bloody need antivirus software...

Yes, because no one would waste their time writing a virus for such an unpopular OS.

In some way, shape or form, user ignorance always plays a part in catching or spreading viruses. Letting a PC-illiterate user behind ANY system is like putting a drunken monkey in a car and starting the engine for it. The bottom line is that if people would learn how to use their damn systems this kind of crap wouldn't happen.

Also, everyone moving to MacOS and Linux isn't the answer. Yes, it will be a short term fix, but as soon as one arises as the clear dominant platform, guess what OS the script kiddies will re-focus their efforts on...
