Please accept this as "Let's Work Together, okay?":

In a present world whereby over 100,000,000 computers are rifled into malware controlled zombie networks ("Botnet Cartel") with expert estimates as from 7 to 11 percent of all computers accounting for up to and over 60 percent of world spam (UCE) and directly and indirectly responsible for up to or over 4 percent of American Citizenship being disenfranchised annually due to electronic Identity Theft - and with current law actually prohibiting "intellectual property" changes by ISP'S or Microsoft or Apple/Mac for that matter by directly deleting malware - don't you agree that the best approach is to inform people that the internet is a "cyber ghetto" everywhere ? How do you get that anything in computer security is "snake oil" ?

The point is that unbelievably Microsoft Windows is simply the safest place to be simply because of everyone up to billionaire companies of security software including firewalls, antivirus, and antispyware are virtually all made for Windows. The rest are not only in their infancies, relatively, in threats but also protection software and distribution and "belief" in the boogy man (malware).

Would you all please read the following, and I mean please ! You see, we all need to be on the same side here, and with our 'pupils' (new owner/users), because as the recent Microsoft "sting" yielding busts in over 60 million piracy copies of Windows (and partnering with Russia) - there should be the same "sting" operation equaling a 'world raid' to destroy the "Botnet Cartel" forever.
