I'd like to see the person who voted Windows security as 'invincible' back up that claim!
Perhaps Bill Gates himself has been visiting AntiOnline?

No computer is invincable.
What version of windows are you asking about here?
I don't think that it really matters what version - where there is a "lock" there is a "key"
The version matters a lot. If you are talking win9x or ME then there is NO SECURITY :(. However, its NT, 2K or XP,it can be made secure if they are configured properly. Out of the box there is very little security in any MS product.
Remember a Firewall is just a speed bump.
Whats Wi..Wi..Windows....Se..Se..Security?
I agree, but someone obviously thinks one running Windows can be!Quote:

Windows NTx and Windows 2000 mainly because if your home computer is running 9x or ME then security probably isn't too much of a concern.Quote:
