Not to get snarky or OS elitist but as I understand it windows security,
even during its support period has been measured in low digit number of d=
ays
in the year when is NOT an outstanding known remote root compromise or
combination of remote user compromise + priviledge escalation. Add in
phishing, watering holes, malware and the average windows computer is
probably compromised a dozen times over. Apparently for sometime it was =

easily possible to secure it install boot - install OS, connect to networ=
k
to download security updates, IP range scanned and compromised faster tha=

you can patch it.
