@ pezus. If you get microsofts own security program for windows its brilliant. I don't bother with all these 3rd party virus protection programs etc. I use microsofts own from their website. First thing I do whenever I buy a new windows. As I've never had a problem I disagree. I think they are brilliant with security.

If apple had any marketshare people might bother to write viruses for IOS. But why would they when it will affect only 6% of the computer using population? What's really funny is google with android have an even smaller percentage of users than IOS. Yet have the most unstable operating system out and through their phones is already having virus issues. Id hate to think how bad the state of android would be if it got to 1.4 billion copies worldwide.
It would be unusable.

Well Windows has never been known for security, and it's very easy to hack/crack and such. I also forgot about Internet Explorer, which is infamous for having bad security compared to other browsers.

Also, didn't Android overtake IOS marketshare a few months ago?

It seems he's combining the amount of PC/Mac users with phone users.  For phones, I believe Android now has the largest marketshare, while Windows has one of the smallest and iOS is somewhere in the middle.  Of course, for computers it's the opposite (Android representing Linux).

You know, it's not really good to have two anti-virus programs running at the same time.  They can cause problems if they conflict with each other.
