Dumb security arguments

There have been some dumb arguments floating around the web on various sites, ever since the first of the new Mac 'viruses' appeared on the scene, but this one takes the biscuit. Essentially, goes the argument, since any malware that affects a Unix system such as OS X will be capable of deleting all your personal files, Unix security is as poor as Windows'.

What would the solution to that be then? Presumably stopping a user from deleting their own files.

Dear oh dear.
