The last remaining Windows box I had suffered the same fate, and when I had finally finished removing the worm, I made a decision never to use Windows again.
It's not that it can't be secured, but it's the most targeted platform, thus making it a part-time job to keep it secure.
Remember the day when Anti-Virus worked?
- preek 16y ago> Remember the day when Anti-Virus worked? Actually nope. Back in the day on DOS 6 I had Microsoft AV and like half a dozen virii on every other floppy disk. Did it ever work? Plus: I don't get the most targeted platform thing. Everyone says that since decades, but Macintosh now is a major player in consumer hardware and Linux/Unix is on more servers than Windows. So why is Windows the most targeted platform? I guess, because "it can't be secured". Sorry, nhangen(;
- nhangen 16y agoOK, well I believe you. I'm just not an AV expert, so I don't want to pretend to know anything in that realm. All I know is that my Windows box always has worms, and I'm not an idiot when it comes to protection...that's a big issue.
