Just an FYI to the list members, take a look at Fedora Core 1, or Knoppix to avoid all virus risks. Your machine can not be infected period if you are running on a unix based Operating system.
Knoppix can be run off the CD rom so you can keep your Windows OS until you are sure you want to replace it. Fedora.redhat.com provides the free OS plus free manuals. We just loaded for a 14 yo who has never used Unix / Linux OS and he is having no problem navigating. Fedora is easier than Windows to load and configure. And it is free! And it is bullet proof when it comes to email viruses. More than you can say for Windows. According to Forbes Magazine a week ago, a survey they recently conduted indicated that 45% of businesses are considering dumping Windows and using a Linux / Unix OS.
