Topic: So many people trying to spread crap on my computer.

So I just watched a trailer for a film called The Square, and decided to search for the actress in the film since I've never seen her before. On the second page of results, it was literally all viruses and spyware.

Good thing Google labels all of this and warns people:
"This site may harm your computer."

Windows should consider becoming more like OSX. It would make developing for the OS take longer and more expensive which would eliminate many third and fourth party developers who make worthless rip-offs of proprietary software. Also, things such as viruses and spyware would become things of the past!

There are so many viruses and spyware for Windows because there's so many Windows users. I think the hackers target the biggest mass. If OSX were to become more common, then the hackers would switch targets.

Personally I think they do it so their Anti-Virus...I mean...a companies anti-virus software has a purpose. No I'm not implying that anti-virus companies write viruses that only their anti-virus software can detect, I'm just saying it's possible...

Conspiracy?  

It's very possible.

I only suggest it because I think they're all con artists.
