To the people asking how he knows; he knows because there aren't any noticeable effects.If he does have 'a million worms and trojans' but they're not doing anything bad, it doesn't matter in the slightest. I ran XP without AV and just Windows Firewall for over two years without issue before I switched to Linux. It wasn't dangerous in the slightest because I knew what I was doing. Virus-writers exploit user stupidity far more than the OS codebase.

Then your school is incompetant. On my school's network, nothing would happen, because if a machine is found trying to do anything, it is cut from the network.

ya know, some are buying Macs with OS X because they can handle that little command line.Been in any tech conference lately? Saw the number of Apple notebooks? Way more than 50% - and these people CAN handle computers.
