Well my bad experiences have all been with Windows XP, maybe Windows 7 is much better. My mom still has Windows XP since that's what I built her computer with years ago and every time she has a problem I just rebuld it. It's been I think 3 times in 8 years now.
My dad has Windows 7 now and I do think that he has had fewer problems than he used to have with XP. If there was an XP virus, he would get it. I don't know how he used his computer but every time I'd go to visit him his system would have so many viruses that it would be almost unusable.
Of course - if Windows 7 is secure, then why do people still buy anti-virus programs for it?
