I've been a Windows user since Windows 3.1. I've had *ONE* virus in my life
that did anything other than get quantined by my AV software - and that was
because I hadn't installed any AV on that machine yet.  And I opened a file
that I shouldn't have, from someone I didn't know, and it was an EXE.  I'm
not saying it's *always* the users fault. But it usually could be prevented
with some free tools and some common sense.


That's another reason for running Linux. It's extremely difficult for viruses etc., to infect.
