    What about those people who never get a spyware? I mean give me a break. On OpenBSD I never get a spyware but it's my tax money that is eaten up by legislators to impose the most stupid laws for the most stupid people running on the most stupid OS. Wake the fuck up people, stop using dead horse bloatware M$ OS becuase we are sick of watching our tax money getting wasted on all kind of laws just becuase your level of IQ is lower than a baby ape by using M$ as your OS.
