Funniest thing, my wife runs WinXP (for now) on her machine. Not one hint of spyware or trojans in years. All I do is run AVG, otherwise it's a default install, security wise. I can only surmise that my firewall has protected me rather well, because I certainly haven't been following any 'best practices' when it comes to XP, that's for sure. -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 14:13:46 up 97 days, 15:25, 7 users, load average: 1.23, 1.04, 0.64 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed." -- Buddha
