Quote - I have 2 computers and a laptop, actually, all of which have net access... and I have a metric ton of stuff to potentially lose (and stuff even that cannot be replaced)

But the answer isn't keeping my machine offline - its in doing frequent backups. I have an external drive, and a server with unlimited space. Ive had my runtime going since Poser 4. And with that setup? My old machine ran 3 yrs without one single virus.... my new rig.... no viruses, either.

I have three desktops and one laptop, but this one, which is only a 2.6ghz P4 is the only one on line.  The other two, everything that I take to them has already been scanned by Nortons here before it gets moved.  But this one is now going on six years, and while I had other people using my connection, (teenagers with all their "social networking") I had that thing called Antivirus soft.  That one was a real roach, until you coughed up the money for an inferior and slow AV, it wouldn't let you do anything.  They got thirty emails from me within fifteen minutes, none of which I would dare repeat here.  Facebook, myspace, any of those are now blocked by my firewall.
