This is misleading: all OSes are somewhat insecure, in practice.
The question is what to do when a security hole is found: plug the hole
right away, or try to recognize potential attacks via some anti-virus
software?
Of course, AV software houses can't really plug security holes in
Windows (only Microsoft can), so their livelihood depends on making
people believe that an AV is a good supplement.
