" There was a recent study by a security organization (not even a single company, but a securities group). The study found that the average life of a system connected to broadband without any protection was about 15 20 minutes, less time then it took to get the updates and start protecting yourself. " when I rebuilt my wife's PC a coupla weeks ago, I made a tool's CD. AVG, Adware Pro, ZonealarmPro, XP SP1 and all the drivers I would need for her machine. I did'nt even plug her machine back into our network until I had run my tools disk. then it was a dash to get all the updates for Adware / AVG... I made it tho :):)
