   I guess the fuss(and the point this little experiment was trying to prove) is that people, when faced with seemingly simple problem like this, do not start thinking like you've just portrayed and go with the gut feeling, because the qu

    On Windows machine it's pretty much impossible not to. Try installing Windows XP on a virtual box without any firewall setup, and within a day(or even hour) you will get infected. Windows Defender is fairly reliable as far as I've
