I am so used to using Linux when i started using windows again i never bothered to install anti virus software. Guess i should.

Conspiracy theory time!
My theory is that the anti virus companies are the very people who create the viruses to create more demand for their products. AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc are the ones who are making the flippin' things!

I actually had one of those. It was pretending to be AVG but it was obvious it was fake. But it did do a good job of screwing up my harddrive. I had no choice but to reinstall Windows from scratch.
To be honest i was wondering why Apple has remained for the most part immune to viruses. Virus makers have in the past targeted MS because they are a greedy corporation and they have a mainstream dominance. But lately it has swinged the other way with Apple overtaking MS in it's greed and dominance. So why are people still targeting Windows? Especially with Bill Gate's philanthropy? I don't think it's entirely a design flaw...
