I’m subscribed to a Microsoft UK email newsletter that I get once a month. The latest one started as follows:
As someone who is fully aware of the potential dangers that the internet poses to those who use it for banking, shopping and social networking, you must get a lot of people asking for your recommendations on the best anti-virus software available?
Yes I do get a lot of people asking me, and my response, apart from the usual suspects, is to recommend that they just get off the Microsoft platform completely – that’s the only way you’re going to have any semblance of safety.
It’s very interesting that the company that makes the most insecure platform on the market, offers to provide you with security products to fix that platform’s issues. How ironic. Why not just provide a secure platform to begin with?
