Windows 7 is here
Windows 7 was released last week and while I wanted to write sooner about it I’m glad I waited. according to the windows7eeepc.co.cc site windows 7 still needs anti-virus software to be safe. While one could look at this as a failure of Microsoft ( again) to secure their software the problem is really the complexity of modern operating systems and the sheer number of virus and malware writers. Apple and Linux claim to be more secure however they are a small fraction of the market and as such they are not targeted by the scammers because they know the profit is much lower because fewer targets exist. but if you’ve upgraded to Windows 7 or bought a new computer with Windows 7 on it make sure to keep the anti-virus solution up to date on it I recommend AVG anti-virus personally. if you are running a computer on the internet today no matter what operating system you have it’s a bad idea to not have an anti-virus installed and protecting you.
