In short if a user is getting infected a lot using Windows,
switching to
Linux is not curing the root cause. The basic problem is the user
needs to
understand what s/he is doing that's allowing malicious code to
execute on
their system and stop doing it. In the vast majority of Windows cases,
simply *not* routinely logging on with admin privileges would
probably stop
99% plus of the infections.
that's an interesting comment....windows xp is the first version that
even gives you that option. and most of the games my kids play on
the computer simply won't run unless you have admin rights.
