Windows 7, patched up to date and with Microsoft Security Essentials installed isn't all that vulnerable unless you do stupid stuff like running software from dubious sources or surfing the seething underbelly of the Web without your trusty Firewall. > What do I need to purchase, load, turn on, turn off, etc. to give myself > protection?

You probably have to use IE because any site with requirements like this probably has lazy programmers who don’t test with anything else. But, I question the need for Boot Camp. Why not use one of the VM solutions like VirtualBox (free!) or Fusion. You might be able to avoid Windows altogether by using IE6 and Crossover. > I appreciate suggestions, I feel like I am going Alligator hunting where I am > the hunted. Windows 7 isn't bad and is certainly a far cry from the Wild West days of Windows 95.
