Are Windows XP or Windows2000 secure? No!!!
I'm using Win95 for years without any virus, malware ...
Another Virussoftware comes from Avast http://www.avast.com free for personal use. Also scans Mail (In/Out).
I can't understand why people use the InternetExplorer cause there are much better browsers. You can use Firefox (better than IE) or Opera (the best) http://www.opera.com
Opera comes with a Mailclient and a lot of the threats that you have with IE are gone!! Opera still available for Win95, Firefox only for Win98-XP.
Maybe you also use this little software too ;-)

For all Windows2000 and XP users update Windows for the WMF-Threat. Patch is available at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms06-001.mspx
It's not a matter of the OS! It's the person using the pc
I'm not saying that Win95 is the perfect OS, but when you red all the threats here there are not so much Win95-user who need help cause there browser for ex. get hijacked. As tom1573 wrote "WIN95 runs well for me and I have had no malware problems". Sure, i think Win95 is only in use by a small amount of people. But also remember that Win95 has not services like W2000 or XP and this services uses quite a lot of viruses, malware, ...
Sadly most of W2000 or XP users are surfing with administrator rights, really bad decision.
I agree with you that also Firefox (see the last fixes) and Opera have vulnerabilities. All software has some kind of vulnerabilities. Some are known, some are at the moment unknown. So, everyone who uses the Internet must be aware of this. When i look back till i shutdown all that services in XP and the other stuff ServicePack2 ..., i want my old Win95 back. ;-)
All i wanted to say is that there is other software available and people should use there brain before clicking on links or open mails from unknown people/companies. There are also some risk to open mails (attachment) even from well known people, cause there pc get infected.
