Hello.
Today I was talking with pradmin about security and privacy and I figured that this site may be secured but your windows might be quite unsecure because it's never meant to be secure. It is well known that chain is as strong as it's weakest segment, so secure connection between you and this site is not much of help when you are using operating system that can be haced into at any time.There are many other operating systems that can guarantee better privacy. The main reason is that viruses just don't work on Linux and it's built to withstand hackers attacks.
For example you could use Ubuntu or Kubuntu if you want nicer visual look.
Ubuntu - http://www.ubuntu.com/
Kubuntu - http://www.kubuntu.org/
It really does not matter which one you choose they're all good and it's possible to turn one into another.
Now you would ask me why is linux better than windows. Here I try to answer these questions.
