This is misleading: all OSes are somewhat insecure, in practice. The question is what to do when a security hole is found: plug the hole right away, or try to recognize potential attacks via some anti-virus software? Of course, AV software houses can't really plug security holes in Windows (only Microsoft can), so their livelihood depends on making people believe that an AV is a good supplement. Stefan
