    "a few fsf diehards"...

    I dont ever use windows now. whats the point when ubuntu gnu/linux survives having bricks thrown at it with no AV. In the past I have found clamAV is very effective for removing windows viruses, I even use it on liveCDs when the host system wont work. but seriously, give ubuntu another go guys.
