So, a person who runs an illegal copy of Windows XP or Vista gets infected. Big deal. It happened because of their action of installing the pirated operating system.
Wow! They can't get all the security updates! Boo-Hoo!
They get infected. It serves them right!
My operating system is legal and therefore fully protected by the M/S updates and the other security software that I have installed. Their compromised system is NOT going to harm me in the least.
They get what they deserve!
