As one who uses Linux exclusively without any trouble
whatsoever, I find your tone patronizing and condescending.
Windows AV (Any Version) is actually sub-par for an OS.
To state otherwise one would have to be very ignorant of
what OSes are and how to rate them.
That said, this is not a discussion for this forum.
PLEASE, take it to us...@os.discuss list, or whatever it
is called.
Thank you!
