Well, sure. Same in your home. Even if you had locks, alarm, guns,
lots of ammo, and security guards there is no guarantee that nobdoy
will harm your family. But the chances become rather slim.
A detective once told me an old rule: You make it difficult for
intruders and they will move on to easier prey. Unless you are a

That is certainly a good protection but many of us don't have the

You could always run a virtual Windows machine inside Linux. Then throw
it away when you've done.
Whilst we are discussing Windows security, has it occurred to anybody
that you cannot install hardware, printers, scanners, camera etc,
without installing the spyware that is embedded into the drivers
supplied.

Yep. But if you use a VM, you can use it when you need it (i.e. if you
need to use Windows-only software) and use Linux for everything else. That
way, the Windows VM may not need network access, the ability to read
sensitive files, modify important files, etc.

Essentially yes ! But you have control over what you want to do with it
and what it can access. Because its just an image you can simply
discard it when finished and reload a clean one when you need it.
