Because a $1000 computer is not an alternative to a cheap (or free) piece of software. Period.
I don't care how you twist it, or how many times you claim I'm an evil Apple hater or that I am on some secret vendetta against you, if someone comes here and asks for an antivirus solution, recommending a new computer just isn't a logical answer. Not for me, not for anyone. And from the other responses here, you'll see that I'm not the only one annoyed by the answer.
If someone comes here and says they have had years of bad luck with Windows, and that they are tired of dealing with computer issues, you can come here with your ridiculous "buy a Mac" answer.
