Again with the reading comprehension!

Ok, so you don't use AV

I only started using AV recently (about 3 months ago?) but it was a proactive move rather than a reactive one. Total time spent: 10 minutes? I haven't touched it since.

you never apply security patches??
I spend as much time on my Windows security patches as I do on my Linux security patches. Actually, I spend more time on my Linux security patches because I haven't totally automated it yet. Show me an OS that never has any security patches and I'll show you an OS that no one uses on the Internet.

You spend zero time on Microsoft security problems???
I did install Firefox although this was only 20% because of security concerns. Total time: 5 minutes. Multiply that by 20% and I guess I've spent 1 minute on Microsoft security problems.

I do also use a NAT wireless router although this was necessary anyway to network my computer. The extra security comes for free and it protects my Windows and my Linux boxes so I'm not sure the time I spent setting that up (15 minutes?) can really count as time spent on Microsoft security problems.

To put it into perspective, I spent more time writing this message just now than I do in a month on Microsoft viruses and other security issues. Any further questions?
