as a part of my hobby i did infected and compromised computers or just leave a PC connected to the net and let it get infected..
what amazes me is that how basic stuff in windows get exploited for propogation of viruses and worms. . For example, the auto run features of drives for propogation of Chir.B worm..
It is definately because every advice on security has been put behind by MS for the so called "user friendliness" in the OS.
second big sucker in Windows is that it doesnt have a solid method of setting the files as read only. Which just plan sucks..
One of the best lessons learnt in windows is never to store EXE files with an extension. I usually replace the .exe with _exe. Because exe files will be the first one most viruses will infect and then these excutable files will themselves become virus spreaders.
