Well he's clearly doing something that repeatedly opens him up to
infection, so he needs to identify the problem and prevent it. Moving to
a more secure OS isn't the answer just in case he ever asks that. It
just isn't. Just because. It doesn't even matter if it turns out he's a
great a candidate he for a more secure OS, or if he gets an
authenticator and that solves only the WoW security issue (cause who
cares about one's internet banking being compromised so long as WoW is
safe?). A more secure OS is NOT an option. Ever. Even if he's a badly
behaved or totally non-geek user who won't or can't adequately secure
Windows. No one is allowed to switch from Windows to solve security
issues. Be geeky and careful enough - or else.

Uh, Jamie? No one is ALLOWED? What country do you live in? ROFLMEO
