Seven things security experts do to keep safe online

So these so called 'security experts' use Windows based systems to access the internet (since the article talks about them using anti-virus software).

Really??!!

A security expert who uses Windows for internet browsing is not a security expert at all otherwise he would know that AV software best case has a 70% success rate, so chances to catch malware or viruses are still way higher than when using Linux.

If recommendations from real security experts had been the basis of that article then the number one recommendation would have been:

Always use a Linux based system to keep safe online.

Quoting:Always use a Linux based system to keep safe online.

One might add that a patched (updated) and hardened Linux-based system is called-for as well, as point 1) from this written piece clearly recommends from the get-go.

Alternatives to Linux-based systems for improved security are systems based upon the BSD's, described at such sites as:
