Mainly: a) Windows gets OSitis, regularly, and b) there is relatively little interest in diagnosis and repair.



Regarding B.
Soon after I started using BSD I discovered somewhere that one
can run two firewall simulatenously.
So on Win98 I put two antivirus
(one on-demand, one tsr) (each shareware) and two firewall
(one shareware "in effective mode", not-so-effective in freeware mode)
and one "other top-rated" .
Both firewalls ran at the same time.
So (shareware) firewall_and_firewall_and_antivirus may be
effective for protection on those machines (you'd want an anti-trojan which
I also ran semi-weekly IIRC).
Then rather than a reinstall you'd face antivirus updates.

addendum: regarding A: "defrag before each shutdown"...
