The presence of the majority - that's almost exactly why Windows PCs are generally more vunerable than other platform systems. Hackers aren't going to write up a code that will get into approximately a very small amount of computer, but rather they will "go with the flow". About phishing, I am convinced that the precautions that Panama Red has posted are a paramount prevenative measure, but the best thing you can do is use common sense. If they are asking for private information, be absolutely certain that it is legitamate.
