>oh and no antivirus. don't need one. linux is secure by design.
Pfft. Linux is only "secure" because it does not yet have enough penetration to warrant writing attacks that target its users (worms, trojans etc). Where is does have enough penetration, it can and does get attacked and hacked into.
You can make Windows more secure (top tip: dinnae have your user account being an admin), but most people do not do this. Which is THEIR OWN STUPIDITY.
You attitude is *EXACTLY* what causes the kinds of problems we are seeing. I bet you log in as "root" because Linux is soooooo secure.
