Really?
So an end user running *nix(or any other OS) shouldn't run defense apps? You're funny. The vast majority malware is spread via user error (DL some crapware, open an attachment, etc.). I don't have a favorite OS but to infer the F-Prot issue is due to a Windows flaw is clueless...plain and simple. I can see by your response, however, you have a lot of emotion over this. But to go on and say Windows is not improving is also an untrue statement. True Windows has issues and will surely have more as every OS does but they sure are leaps and bounds better since SP2. They have a ways to go but definately an improvement.
