haguber:A newly formatted Windows box thats connected to the internet usually gets compromised in less than an hour :-)
this is so true. disconnect mo muna ung pc, install the latest os patches, then install antivirus and firewall kaagad before reconnecting

unless the requirements of the job is IE, don't use IE. a long time ago, IE beat Navigator hands down; these days it's the reverse. And IE hasn't been updated in a long time -- ung Firefox e every few months me bagong version.

IE does load faster on windows pcs though. can you say "anti-trust"?


..same with Outook/Outlook Express. ThunderBird ka na lang. it'll save you a lot of headaches.
