Viruses replicate quickly.
Windows does this.
-
Viruses use up valuable
system resources, slowing down the system as they do so.
Windows does this.
-
Viruses will, from time to
time, trash your hard disk.
Windows does this.
-
Viruses are usually carried,
unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and
systems.
Windows does that, too.
-
Viruses will occasionally
make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and
the user will buy new hardware.
Same with Windows, yet again.
Maybe Windows really is a
virus.
Nope! There is a difference!
Viruses are well supported by
their authors, are frequently updated, and tend to become more
sophisticated as they mature. So there! Windows is not a virus. |
