Hi Shaun, Well, there is system security to keep in mind. Knock on wood I have not gotten one virus on my Windows Vista or Windows 7 based systems yet. However, I've had several virus problems with Windows XP. In fact, the family computer, running XP, was taken out by a nasty virus a couple of weeks ago, but the rest of the systems on the network running Linux and Windows 7 were uneffected. This isn't to say Windows 7 isn't invonerable to virus attacks, but one reason the virus didn't spread any further is that User Account Control prompted me to run program x, and when I realised it was the virus I told it not to run it, and that stopped the virus cold. So even though some people find UAC a pain to use it is one more extra layer of security from these kinds of attacks.
