Security in general is composed by a objective and subjective part.

The objective part is, of course, related to technical aspects of software, like, using the most recent source code, have a good policy on configuration files, etc.

The subjective part is more related to the ‘security sensation’. People that use Windows(r) tend to thing their system is not secure if them don’t have an anti-virus software installed, and, installing one usually removes this worry (even if the software is a-way outdated).

If we state that an ‘recent software is more secure than an old software’, and we believe the software maintainers do a good job on not breaking a stable system on the updates, what is our ‘insecurity feeling’ based on?
