Buy a Mac.

Don't start that. I have been a Mac user for well over 15 years and I have had my share of viruses. Not many, but enough to be annoyed by them. And now that the Mac uses Unix, they are now even more of a target.

FWIW Windows User since 3.0. MS User for over 15 years now. I have had 1 (one) virus in all that time and it was a macro virus sent to me by the CEO in a report. He sent an email 10 minutes later telling us not to open the previous email (that I was reading at the time).

I also have over 80 PC's at work running Windows 2 (two) got hit with sasser because they had not been turned on for several weeks (things were not up to date).

Most people who get viruses are not taking the caution they should when using computers on a network. It's funny that they even remember to put oil in their cars or check the breaks every once in a while, but they expect their computers to protect them without any effort on their part.
