Agreed.
But sometimes, this kind of electroshock with strong words can trigger
something. Perhaps that out of curiosity, the OP will check about GNU/Linux
distros and try a live-CD then make a dual boot and conclude that Windows is
not the only OS worth using in the world.

I've never said that GNU/Linux is bug-free.

For the crappy OS, I rather agree too! Windows is sold in many shops,
it's
not really bug free and it can lead to additional costs (anti-virus,
firewall, anti-spywares, ...). The underlying message was in fact: check
other OSes like GNU/Linux (they don't need all these security
applications).
But it depends on your use of your computer perhaps.
Linux is bug-free? Hahaha!
To the OP: it is not uncommon for anti-[virus/malware/etc] programs to
flag FOSS software as FOSS software devs generally don't "register"
their "products" with these companies. That does not mean that all
FOSS software is 100% safe, but anti-* programs' warnings are in no
way indicative of problems.
I agree (with apologies to Eric Arthur Blair) that 1) all OS have problems,
but that 2) some have more problems than others. But calling the OS that a
poster is using «crappy» probably does little to help him or her resolve a
concrete problem - and is in this case, particularly egregious, as the OP
pointed out that he also used an alternative. Let us concentrate on helping
each other - that should provide adequate room for our creativity !...
