No.  Windows security is simple.  Just insert a 6' air gap resistor into the
ethernet cable and it will successfully filter any and all network traffic.

Ok, someone had to say it :-)

The IT guy where my wife works says Windows is very secure, and
we're not safe at all because we run Linux and Firefox.  They don't
send security patches fast enough to be secure.  He's a Minesweeper
Certified Solitaire Expert, so I'm scared.

Sounds like where my wife works.  The IT person just retired and I heard a
party spontaneously occur throughout the organization.  Hopefully they will
get someone that can figure out how to buy a clue.
