Windows - Good And Bad News
November 8th, 2009 by ComputerBob
If you’re a Windows user, I’ve got some good news and some bad news for you.
Bad news: Your operating system is a virtual swiss cheese of serious, exploitable, security vulnerabilities.
Good news: There are many, many, many security patches and applications that you can buy and download and install and run, to try to plug your operating system’s many holes.
Good news: Most of the 16 most-popular anti-virus solutions are able to detect many types of malware.
Bad news: None of the 16 most-popular anti-virus solutions are very good at getting rid of it.
But if you’re a Windows user, you probably already know all about the security costs of using Windows from first-hand experience.
