Format, Reinstall windows. Honestly I used to try to find the source of these problems, but screw it. F/R is the easiest way. ;)

As long as you don't have any of those file sharing programs and use FireFox and keep up with your Windows Updates, you will be good. Oh yeah and atleast use the firewall in windows. And if your not using SP2 yet what the ---- is your problem?

sp2 is pure ----, just wait till windows vista comes out.

i was reading on some websight that the current linux kernel has 204 lines of arronous code. windows, over a couple thousand just in the windows software.


windows vista will hopefully be way way wya betterr.
