Wow Richard, that is s definitive sounding almost "urban legend"-like statement! However, as a Windows user for all but the first year it came out, I have not spent dollar one in either avoiding viruses or by problems caused by viruses on any of my Windows systems!

Either this is a troll, or you are extremely lucky, or just unaware that your machines are totally saturated with virii. :-)
It's not an urban legend. MS Windows viruses, propagated mostly by MS Outlook users, cost businesses big bucks (*) when their networks go down or they have to scrub and reinstall Windows on infected computers. You really ought to be running antivirus software on any Windows box. I have a subscription to Norton Antivirus for my windows box. Which BTW is nearly $75/year for a subscription :-)
