for those of you running windoze OS without virri protection ad firewalls might want to consider this:
your vanilla flavoured XP (pre SP2) PC will last on average about 20 minutes before responding the wrong way to some kind of threat or intrusion - be it via a web page, email or direct network/port connection...
<http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/19/infected_i n20_minutes/>
... if only more folk took this advice a little more seriously:
-Set Windows Update to automatically update the computer, without asking questions.
-Install a personal firewall that blocks almost everything by default.
-Buy a 2- or 3-year subscription to an anti-virus program and set it up to automatically download all updates.
-Buy an anti-spyware tool and set it up to automatically update, scan, and remove spyware.
-Replace Internet Explorer with Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox, and then hide that blue E so it's not on the desktop.
-Replace Outlook Express with Mozilla Thunderbird.
of course they missed the obvious solution, don't install a windows operating system, use linux or some other unix variant.
