Hi Polonus,
   Thanks for the article. This to me just shows there will always be a threat of Malware no matter what OS any of us use. Just a recorded fact of life. Granted it might be more secure than a previous OS but the hackers shall still be out there.  :)

It's a well known fact that you can't make a toy that can't be broken.
Just ask any Kid.  ;D

There will always be those who see it as a challenge, but more importantly those with a financial interest in being able to exploit your OS for gain that will ensure there is a place for anti-malware products.
