Duane, I have learned long ago that disagreeing with you has no purpose. As an extremely experienced computer user I can tell you most emphatically that you are incorrect, but there is no point arguing it publicly or otherwise. Your advice regarding not updating Windows, and especially about Anti-Virus is not only incorrect, it is absolutely of the worst kind! Are you trying to intentionally get people to catch viruses so that you can point and laugh at them? If someone is using Windows and is committed to it, stop railing at them about changing to something else and give them advice that is useful, if you can. If they are using Linux and need help, I'm sure you can help them very ably. Also, read up on heuristics / behavior based anti-virus. The best anti-virus software suites includes this along with the definition based scanning. Look into how the current software actually protects before dishing out advice - things have changed.
