I believe it's next to impossible to install a MS Windows system these days: once it's hooked on the network to install a personal firewall and virusscanner, the virusses are there before the security software is operational. Same for Windows-update: one needs an internet connection to get these updates. Bye, Joost (happily being cert@xxxxxx in these Mydoom.M days :)
