In this release of KDE, I can open odf documents as zip archive.
In the previous release, I lost the ability to hide partitions from 
device notifier.
In the previous release, folder view widget lost the scroll bar.
Forgot for previous releases....

And all these were 'stable'.

And the reason why this problem exists and will never be fixed cause 
devs and key team member never admit to it.

Most of antivirus vendors dont themselves use Windows, Mcafee uses it 
behind Linux.

I myself have made experimental malware (in VB, as a newbie) which I've 
even deployed (after telling my friends); anti-viruses didn't do 
anything at all.

Like I don't know that. With apparmour/SElinux, noexec, it's VERY difficult.
