,----[ Quote ]
| Many Windows PCs have been turned into zombies, but rootkits are not
| yet widespread, according to a Microsoft security report slated for
| release Monday.
|
| More than 60 percent of Windows PCs scanned by Microsoft's Windows
| Malicious Software Removal Tool between January 2005 and March 2006
| were found to run malicious bot software, according to Microsoft. The
| tool removed at least one version of the remote control software from
| about 3.5 million PCs, the software maker said.

The figures speak *heaps* for themselves. Windows should be an *illegal* O/S
to use. It is cancer on the Web.
