My Windows 7 laptop is so secure, I have been using Windows 7 for 2 years since beta, with not even single security breach on it.
Well..., I don't know why you're so scared of not running your anti-virus program then ... LOL ...
Macintosh users never have to run theirs, as you well know... there's no need. They know that their system is so secure that none is needed.
HOWEVER, I do understand your reluctance to getting rid of your anti-virus program -- it would scare me to death, too -- if I had Windows ... LOL ...
Yeah that's why it's had more security holes than a sieve.
Yep, sure enough... LOL ... that's why all those Macintosh users lose sleep at night worrying about it ... NOT! :-)
Heck! We don't worry about that, nothing happens. I'm still waiting for the first Windows user that I can find (out of millions of them) who trusts their system enough to run it without an anti-virus program -- like Macintosh users do all the time with Mac OS X ... doncha know...
If Microsoft is giving me a free Microsoft Security Essentials download, as part of my Windows 7 install process, why on earth would I refuse it?
Windows Security essentials would be part of Windows 7 anyways, if not for anti-trust complaints from anti-virus makers., so just considfer it as part of the operating system.
Bottom line is, my Windows 7 is as solid on security as they come. To quote a certain company with small market share, “Windows 7 just works”.
A superb operating system.

"None is needeed"? Like these? Chortle!

Tell me..why would a ‘secure” operating system need to the tune of EIGHTY EIGHT security hole patches in just one go?
Surely, its already secure, no?
Why patch holes in something that doesn't have holes?
