If you use an application that deals with money, on Windows, expect to get robbed.
I think that's what he's getting at, and I agree.
I think that statement is pretty bold, and partially incorrect. windows is not just some platform you can magically just infect and get someones wallet. using ad block plus and firefox alone will prevent a good 80% of almost all threats from simply browsing the web, ad on top of the myWOT and you have a good free defense, assuming you browse smart and don't click on obvious stupid stuff. 99% of the time the user must click something to compromise their system. linux suffers from similar flaws, except most linux users are smart. and linux does not allow things to run and such, so most exploits cant get in, and the ones that do, will not run because they were made for windows.
although windows is by no means as secure as a properly configured linux machine, but not to the extent you describe.
