But at least IBM has made a concentrated effort to minimize the chance; NOT
disagreeing with that you say :-) It is just way to easy to mess with
crucial Windows programs.

I guess with the Apple announcement even they are warning of Windows
security risks :-)

Part of the virus problem is the Intel architecture that Microsoft depends
on. IBM processors uses separate code and data stacks, so data cant overflow
and become code. Will be interesting to see what happens to Apple as they
switch to Intel. Yes it's a big problem. The trend is a lack of concern,
which propagates the situation. Trojans have been around a very very long
time, long before computers, and probably wont ever go away. Sadly, not even
IBM can fix that one.
