It's more than that, it's a statement that adding software to fix software just means there's more software to fix. The correct solution is to remove software - there's no point in fixing it if you have no legitimate need for it anyway. Then you can concentrate on the software that you do need. For example, do you remember Blaster? It was a worm that exploited a service in windows 2000 and XP, a service that very few people actually need, and probably shouldn't have been included in home versions of windows at all. If it hadn't been included or enabled, Blaster, walachia and other worms would never have had the reach that they did.
