Hi all,
Do the changes/updates that Microsoft does periodically lower the odds of a virus successfully
hurting the system? My knowledge of programming and of computers is limited, but it would seem viruses would have to be designed around the way the OS is setup. Then it would seem that a virus designed to attack version "x" of Windows would not be as successful in attacking a higher version "y" of the same Windows O.S. Is this correct?
