Most of the viruses are modular, usually you get infected by a 0-day exploit on the web using Internet Explorer (6,7 or whatever). Once infected the virus will block your anti-virus and download all kind of older viruses from the web and run them. This is why you should never use a box as an admin. Anyway even if you don't see the original virus in HijackThis you will find enough traces of an infection to understand the situation.
Then depending on the virus you will need more or less work to remove it from your system.
One of our client wanted to have wireless clients from the start. It was easy, but now the number of clients are spreading like rabbits and currently I have to use 5-6 AP to cover the whole area.
I have no idea how this Android works, but all you need is a confirmation box before your applications starts to call, SMS, browse the net...
And maybe an internal trust application system, where you can customize what is allowed. Totally inaccessible to [u][b]all[/b][/u] the application or we end up with another Windows firewall who can be opened by any kid script.
Most of the bloatware (plugins) comes from "normal" applications like VOIP, anti-virus, Google apps of any form, Yahoo,...
The only difference is that evil sites uses this code to steal stuff.
The core of the problem is that ________ (insert your favourite company) should put a better security on plugins and don't allow 3rd party companies to install their crap at will.

Don't use the word security and windows in the same sentence please.
Actually it's much more then that. You can even find and remove viruses that goes undetected to your anti-virus program.
If you master Hijackthis you will never have to re-install windows.
And you will realize how much bloat all the software companies throws at you.
Not really.
If you disabled all the extra features of XP over 2000, the amount of consumed RAM was equal.
Granted this was before SP1, after that XP got fatter and fatter.
I always remove IE from my systems, yet if I type RUN: iexplore, IE comes up all the time.
Warez usually works better then legitimate CD.

No, but they can get some candy.
Come, I have some of them in my van.
I would be scared much more of what Bush thinks then any lost soul who ends up arrested.
Does this mean that I can't broadcast my imagination before 22:00?
A politician that actually listens to the people? Now I have seen all.
No 13 year olds are going to be whoring themselves out if crack were legal market price. It'd be a couple quarters for a rock...
The final price of a product can be regulated by a tax. Like we are currently doing with booze and cigarettes.

How about hibernation?
Let me guess, you would love to see M$ running only on virtual machines? :)
The terrorists, it's all their fault.
Nelson to a Mac fanboy.
Ha ha!
In the same way the hardware needs a software to run in the same way our body needs it's soul to work.
Good thing we don't run on windows.
What M$ should fear are the new netbooks, and the fact that they have to use different OS because Vista is too slow.
