[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 838673, member: 32260"] But, I do not think that the situation could be much better if all people would use Linux. The malc0ders are smart, adaptive and motivated by profits. The differences between both operating systems would not stop them to develop dangerous malware. [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]The practice of computing, forces usability and productivity over security.

Furthermore, the development of AVs also does not improve the users' protection. I could argue that the average user has greater chances to be infected nowadays than 20 years ago.
