Let me understand, you actually PAY your proprietary Oprating System vendor for their flaky software. Them you PAY extra to them or their partners for 'security' software . Then they spend your money on TV ads with castles and guard dogs. Then finally they crooks still get into the system and steal your money - how dumb is that !

Do this instead.
(1) Convert to Open Office and Firefox and get used to using them Windows.
(2) Move to a good desktop oriented linux - eg Ubuntu or Mepis.
Your office software and browser will work as they did under Windows.
(3) Kiss goodbye to Windows viruses, worms, trojans etc.
(4) Same a small fortune in Ofiice and OS upgrades.
