lassiter, sorry I just don't understand all of this. I don't use a microsoft browser, I don't accept mail attachments, and I don't need a zone alarm or anti-virus because I DON'T GET ANY.

Oh yeah, did I mention I connect to the net through a firewall set, and nobody from the outside can port scan me anyway? I do run two versions of spyware remover (microsoft / giant and lavasoft).

I let the microsoft stuff do what it wants, and let it go at that. The three paths of most virus infections are microsoft browsers, email attachments, and open machines. Firewall, FireFox, block attachments... your life is so much easier.

You cannot tell me for a minute that SP1 is more secure than SP2... SP1 is holier than the pope.
