If ur family members only work on MS office, then ofcors u have no reason to worry! But consider the case where all ur family members have administrative priviledges and can install any software they like without ur permission and visit any site! Do u think the face of windows will remain the same?

4 people in my family who know very little about computers, work on office, play games ,enjoy music/movies, surf internet. i am the only guy that does programming on the comp. I have two user accounts on the comp, one for me and other for everyone else , both accounts have administrative rights, i want them to learn and install whatever they want(mostly game demos, and the apps from magazine dvd's). I just told everyone to not to install if anything pops up while surfing ,so simple imo.

DOnt u use firewall to monitor the activities of the softwares and save bandwidth?
If u neither use firewall nor use any antispyware etc than its hard for me to believe u that ur system is still free of adwares,malwares etc and number of startup entries still the same as before when u first installed a software!

About the tweaking softwares , what kind of softwares are you talking about? I just use tweakui to just pesonalize my windows experience changing menu delays,adjust hover time etc etc etc many things. Is that bad?
Some new softwares get added to startup when installed , most of the softwares have option to remove themselvs from startup , or you can use msconfig to simply uncheck the ones you dont want from the list of softwares in startup. who needs a special software for that?
About firewall softwares i just use the windows default firewall nothing more than that , it works fine.

I do not disagree and me not a linux hater for no reason, my only point is that windows despite being contineously targeted by new malwares/viruses is doing great job by providing continuous updates to the users.
yes I Visit any site without any hindrance carefreely etc ,and i do it in windows .
