Here's what you said:

> Hear my fucked up story of UEFI, Secure Boot and Windows 8:

Why mention Secure Boot at all? It's got absolutely nothing to do with your situation.

It is a story about all of them, I did not say Secure Boot caused this problem, I said I disabled it to be able to install Windows 7.

Suppose that a user buys a Windows 8 machine, goes to a website, and downloads malware that slows down the machine and makes it unusable. Finally, a local teenager wipes the machine, disables Secure Boot, and installs Windows 7.

One would hardly say that this is a "f-cked up story of" malware, Secure Boot, and Windows 8. Secure Boot is merely incidental, and has nothing to do with the issue of malware on Windows 8.
