You just gave yourself away with this line - you almost had us thinking
you were just an upset, out of work, MCSE, but it's completely apparent
to anyone that you can't be an MCSE or any other type of support person.

No MCSE or tech support person would connect a unprotected system to the
internet without first ensuring that it was protected. Heck, even a
first year MCSE knows enough to turn off the services that can get
compromised before connecting to the net to get the updates when there
is no protection on the system.

What the heck kind of MCSE goes to a friends house to help with a
computer and doesn't take his CD's choked full of goodies (like the Free
Zonealarm, the free Spybot, etc...).

Nice trolling, you almost fooled some people.
