Look Ma, no virus
You still need A/V software regardless of
your operationg system because most OS's
don't protect against those kinds of things

No antivirus either
You don't need it on mac workstations.

But I'm a lazy boy, I don't like spending time
reconfiguring & patching.

You have to teach people what are saavy
pratices while on a computer, while online
and so forth

An easier and automatic 100% solution to fix
security: switch OS
Cm'on boy you think educating people will
absolve uncle Bill? Maybe we have to go to
weekend security camp groups to be
indoctrinated on properly handling security?
Why not just switch??
