[QUOTE="Ink, post: 823669, member: 3"] Simple answer: Yes. Any operating system that's connected to the Internet (or isolated) needs security upgrades, that's why you receive security patches to plug any exploits. An Antivirus can provide certain protective measures that the OS simply cannot defend itself against. Other examples: [I]what do they have in common?[/I] [LIST=1] [*]Seat belt [*]Helmet [*]Goggles [*]and recently in the news: [URL="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48907277"]Free-climber scales London's Shard[/URL] - If he lost grip without a harness, what would happen?
