Any references, because I don't know what you're talking about? I'm not a Windows user, haven't been a Windows user since 2001, my AV experience has been with the PCs of my family, whom I'm trying to keep safe. But even if I were a Windows user, if you can't trust Microsoft, you can't trust their OS, at which point it would be better to use something else because security really depends on how trustworthy that OS and its vendor are. I do trust Microsoft more than I trust an AV vendor though.
