Or because MS didn't properly secure their software. It's a circular
argument. You buy the latest and greatest operating system, then buy the
latest and greatest anti-virus and spy-killing software. It's a scam,
and you end up paying. gratuitous plug I haven't used any anti-virus
or any anti-spyware in about ten years, and I haven't had any problems,
but then, I use Linux. Oh, and it's free. /gratuitous plug



Do you think every piece of software should come with built-in protection
against viruses? If yes, how would you propose to implement such a feature?
