Given that there's recently been a lot of publicity about the Microsoft Surface, I'm certain that some of my readers may be considering purchasing one or more for their business computing needs.
If so, you're making a huge mistake. Because the Surface is based upon Windows, it is, and will remain, inherently unstable and insecure. That's because Windows itself is a security and stability nightmare.
Hahahahah.... so Surface is doomed because it will get viruses that it can't actually get?
It's an ARM device, moron.

The "writer" got a root kit and tried to fix it on the phone. Stupid. If the writer doesn't have a local computer shop with experts that can clean it out, teach him how to use sandboxie, and make a system image onto a portable hard drive, then he is unworthy of putting forth a missive about anything to do with computing.
To the writer: "Hey moron, try the very good bleepingcomputer.com service before paying a phone "service" or one of the sucker-attracting companies that advertise on TV.

Did the article generate a traffic for the publication? Then the "writer" did their job... They don't have to be knowledgable, accurate or anything else...

#3: There is a reason the phrase "journalistic standards" exists. True journalists toil to be honest and to protect their reputation. All others are phonies
