I don't have any security software.

Yet, my computer is more secure than yours will ever be.

It doesn't need any security software because;

1) It has a security conscious operating system.

2) It has a security conscious user.

1) It has a security conscious operating system.

Much like what Apple fanboys claim, yet look at iWork and it's trojan. ;)

We Can also Perform Better Without using Security Programs...
