Windows is the most practical and affordable platform for me even with the threat of viruses. I and my employees use up to seven computers right now for normal business stuff, plus high definition video editing and video encoding, photo editing and graphic design work, flash work, DVD authoring and other things. Most of this software won't work on Linux and I am not willing to spend boatloads of money and lots of time learning new software to switch to Mac at this point. So there is one reason to use Windows!
In any case, I like Avast Anti-Virus. It just caught a virus that was lying dormant in the restore partition on the laptop that I use for email and icq.
