One thing you didn't mention... information comes from Symantec. :lol:
Just putting their programs on your computer raises your vulnerability by at least 50%. :P

This really doesn't mean much though. I don't think I've ever seen or even heard about a linux or mac computer being ravaged by spyware(maybe it happens, but I've never seen/heard about it). But I'm glad MS is at least fixing their bugs. :D
