I find similar results, having dumped Windoze in 1997.

A few computers I have inspected recently that were infested with
Microsoft Virus/Worms/exploits had 2500 reported infections, or more.

For the experience, I ran the proper repair/spybot/AV programs and found
that it took more than three days to resolve all the issues.

Why anyone would suffer such egregious incursion upon their time,
energy, monetary resources (Shops ask $85 and up to do the fix!), is
only a testament to the Stockholm Syndrome!

Microsoft sucks for legitimate reasons such as the waste of system
resources, when it runs 'correctly', and the dumbing down of
individuals, loss of personal freedom of choices when all is 'right'
within that world.


When Microsoft does evil, it is extreme!  I say to all Microsoft
lemmings, you should run, not walk, away!

Linux is free and it is FREE!
