Took the words right out of my mouth, except I was afraid to post that due to possibly hurting someone's feelings (which I seem to do a lot here and have posts deleted).

It seems pc is the platform with the Trojans, viruses and all that.

There are several other platforms that are susceptible to Trojans, viruses and all that. When you control ~90% of a market share, I don't think hackers are going to target the 10%.

I use Security Essentials and IE9.

I'm fighting viruses and malware pretty much everyday. I'm in the middle of settling my third identity theft.

uhm your third identity theft? Sounds like you are doing it wrong too! I don't have problems with viruses or malware. Stop browsing bad porn sites and use Firefox with adblock/NoScript. I havent had to deal with a virus in so long its like they dont even exist.

Seconded. Combine that with a decent home router (and don't open ports!), using something besides Outlook for email and not opening attachments from people you don't know and you'd be about as likely to get struck by lightning as get a virus.

I found the cause of your problem.

QFT I haven't had a virus successfully hit me since...1997? And I did that on purpose. Either way the point stands, it's not like just because you're running Windows you're doomed to have catastrophic virus issues every other day. Especially if you don't use your computer like a cracked out and lobotomized monkey.
