learn to use Windows you could avoid malware too.

Interesting notion: You need special knowledge to run windows "safely"?
And how do you "avoid malware"? Has it a certain "stink"? Does it smell?
And how do you know in advance that a site you are going to visit serves
your next malware? Is aquiring psychic powers part of that "special
knowledge" you need to run windows?


Aren't you just a bit ashamed to admit that you can't operate a
Windows PC among your peers?

They don't end up virus free. This is just a Lemming lie.

Alternately, they could be completely unaware that they are infected
or part of a bot net.


Maybe you should try paying for your Windows products instead of
stealing them or getting infected warez site crap from your
friends.


Or just simply visiting internet sites. That seems to be the most dangerous
act of being careless with windows systems


Only if you're gullible and stupid. If a website says you have
to install software to view it, stupidity makes you click the
yes / ok button.

A smart person just closes the browser.

That's your first mistake right there. Assuming that Windows
operates like Linux.


What an imbecile Peter the Klöwn is. If a website tells you that your
Flash player is outdated, chances are that it's serving malware. If it
tells you that you need to update your "media player," you can bet that
whatever it wants you to download is garbage. If you get an e-mail from
an unknown source and it gives you a bill, chances are that you're about
to be infected. People who use Windows have brains and are able to avoid
these problems whether they have an anti-virus or not. Apparently,
brains are in short supply in modern Germany and especially in the Klöwn
household.

...that kind of defies the whole point.

No that is the point. There is no reason to ever get an
infected Windows system unless you are just plain careless.


You mean "careless" as in "letting it connect to a network"?


It's not our fault if you can't secure your computers on
ordinary networks.


Peter wouldn't be able to figure out how to restore his vision if we put
a paper bag on his head and it blinded him.

If I need to be a wizard guru in order to safely use something then
I might as well just use VMS.

I run a four node VMScluster on two AMD VMWare boxes with SIMH.


Naturally. And it is located right at the rim of that flat world you live on


I'd give you a login account but that would overwhelm your
abilities and you might kill yourself.


Mainz, Germany would thank you.

Even "mainstream" and "legit" sites can give you an infection. The entire
modern web is an exercise in running untrusted code from as many sources as
possible all at once. Even under ideal circumstances, that's an ugly prospect.
