All have comparable or better programs available in Linux for free.
Oops. Got any more that *everyone* uses?

Even if they did and the Home directory was infected, you can sandbox it
and create a new Home directory and keep on keeping on. Oops again. For
a true root kit or other malware, it would have to get its hands on the
kernel, a very difficult thing to do.

Not if your clients switch to Linux, you don't.

I have been using Windows for many years and my computer has never had a problem with
viruses. You are spreading FUD.

If everyone abandoned Windows then you are correct. But it ain't gunna happen anytime
soon. Just keep dreaming. Just keep smoking that Hash and all your "dreams" will come
true only in your ****ed up mind!

My clients know better. My clients want to be productive and make money. They stick with
Windows. It's amazing how many companies make tons of money, their directors, CEO's,
etc.. make the right decisions by staying with Windows.


Recession or not, I still do very well in this economy.

Now if I had to use that crappy Ubuntu, I would be selling Oranges on the freeway ramp!

Don't go to the pub. When I want to get laid, I just have to ask the wife!

What do you do? Pounce on your Sheep?

Hey dipshit - Just because a removal tool is installed doesn't mean I need to use it.

So if you have a grapefruit in the house are you going to **** it?

What "improved version of Windows Defender" are you talking about?

Microsoft Security Essentials? If so, it does much more than WD did.

I would suggest getting MSE and using it until you decide on what you
consider "better" for whatever reason.

MSE is designed to address both viral and non-viral malware including
some spyware and adware - how good it is at any particular category
remains to be seen though. Some have reported that it is insufficient
protection as it now stands.
