Interestingly, both platforms now have 3rd party software that can "reset" your system every day if you want, back to a baseline install, or whatever level of install you choose. Meaning, anything that was done to it during the day, gets nuked and the system is put back to a clean state. You have to log in to the admin to make changes that "stick". Great for Internet cafes or businesses looking to protect their systems from their employees. So technically speaking, you really don't need any anti-virus type programs. Just "reset" your systems every day.

I've tried these apps and they work like a dream. But alas, I have no real need for it, but I also don't run any anti-virus. Fuck that shit.
