,----[ Quote ]
| To be totally honest, anytime you use any OS
| of any kind you open yourself up to viruses
| and trojans, especially with Microsoftâs
| Operating Systems.
|
| As this article is published, Microsoft has
| unfortunately not answered to our repeated
| email requests for a statement on this issue.
| In the news business thatâs called a solid âno
| comment.â
