Erhmmm... Windows Vista happens to be relatively secure as is - as
long as it's kept patched.
With a few exceptions, viruses and other kinds of malware don't show
up until the user starts doing something that deliberately let's it
in. I'd say that 98% of malware problems are user induced.
How expensive can it be to buy out Macfee and Norton and offer their
services for FREE?
NO THANKS. There's no reason to add even more crap to it.
After all, it is the c**p OS that makes it possible to
exploit its weaknesses and yet there is NO responsibility taken for it.
Feel free to use a different OS. For free.
Instead, there's a complex in your face Macfee service embedded in the OS
that costs extra. Just turning it off is a nightmare.
A McAfee service in embedded in windows? I doubt that.
It's a hidden cost of running Windows, whichever way you look at it because
JUST to run the OS safely, you need antivirus protection.
Not really. I'm doing fine without, as a matter of fact.
I feel as if I've bought a car for x dollars and then found you actually
need seatbelts to drive it safely -- BTW, here is a seatbelt manufacturer and
their subscriptions. Just so you don't forget to buy their seatblets and
monthly subscription and blame us if you get thrown out of a car when you
*start* it, we will remind you daily and we will split the service so you'll
be sh** scared to disable it or to uninstall it.
Hmmm...and they wonder why M$ has a bad reputation!
M$ happens to be a company which goal it is to make money. You have
the choice of choosing something else.
