If you care about your security and are still using windows you are doing it wrong.

No wonder you posted anonymously. I'd want anonymity too if I'd posted such a weak attempt at trolling. I'm no fan of Windows but I'm also not blinded by fanboyism, thinking by using a niche OS I'm safe. You might be *safer* on another OS, but you're not *safe.* Security takes a lot of effort, no faint amount of smarts, and a bit of annoyance to the user. Windows has problems, but there isn't an OS out there that doesn't have vulnerabilities or can be/has been cracked.

There are a hell of a lot of busted Linux installs out there, and that's just the start of it. This DoxBox sounds pretty neat.

I posted anonymously because I can't be bothered to register when I can post without registering.

Windows may well be more secure than a Linux or a BSD, but without the source, how can you tell?
