I’ve used Windows and IE since 1997.

I’ve never had a security issue.

If you just follow the basic security rules, I think you have a 99% chance of keeping your computer healthy no matter which operating system or browser you use.

I run a complete security scan once a week, I auto load security updates, I don’t visit porn sites, I use the default security settings on Windows 7, and I don’t click on any link or download any program if I even get a moderate security warning.

I know that’s not a perfect solution, but for the last 15 years, so far, so good.

I think you aught to talk to Janet Napolitano. As head of Homeland Security she could use a few pointers:)
