how do you people get into this? i've had xp for years
now without any problems. ido updates weekly and
diskclean and defrag monthly and have never seen a virus
or spy. i practice safe hex and careful about sites
visited. loaded 3 different printers and all sorts of
gamepads joysticks and usb harddrives and usb jump
drives. all kinds of different hardware changes and
never seen what happens to you folks.
