You guys are also forgetting about registry fixing software. My IE and Outlook will randomly bomb out with unrecoverable errors at totally unpredictable times. Going by what I've read, this is usually registry related. Not to mention I've tons of references to applications that were deleted years ago, and I can't rid of the uninstill info for them either. Some of these fixer apps will take care of that too. The idiots at MS don't provide anyway to delete this stuff yourself.

MS doesn't even allow a person to write protect their default webpage. I'm getting sick as hell of a-hole sites changing it and redirecting me to where I don't want to go. Why the idiots at MS think it's acceptable for the outside world to screw with my settings I will never know. Don't trust anything MS writes. They should burn in hell eternity.
Here's what I plan to do. I'm going to set up my oldest Win based computer as an internet only computer. If some virus takes it down, no big deal because there will be nothing important on it. I can just reformat and reinstall the OS.
