Bullcrap. Stop being vague. Having common sense isn't going to keep Windows from getting bombed with spyware. MY solutions are common sense.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
F*ck Microsoft.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Anti-virus software (and keep it up to date)
Good anti-spyware software (Ad-Aware or Spybot, both FREE), run them often, and keep THEM up to date
Firewall (either a software firewall, or put a router between you and the network for at least a NAT firewall)
Browser (switch to FireFox and stop using IE)
Also, if you work on your "DJ" skills and start hooking up with women, you won't need to visit all those shady porn sites that are giving you these viruses in the first place.

I always got spyware but then I downloaded a program called spyware blaster. It stops spyware from installing in your computer. Just keep it updated and you will never see spyware again.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

or you could just NOT use Kazza (in a general sense)
You are offically now considereed a retard, the reason SP2 came out was to fix all of the problems with SP1. Your fault.
On a lighter note, you already know that crap flys..

Debian or anything Debian-derived (like Ubuntu) is a good Linux distro.
I agree though, Firefox is ESSENTIAL. Using the internet w/o it is like fvcking a hooker without a condom-- sooner or later you're going to pick up something nasty.

So what does your "common sense" tell you to do?
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

the people that have problems with Win XP are most likely LAME! sorry, but it's true.
i have zero issues with XP Pro SP2 and Win Server. rock solid. i reboot on average ONCE per month...just 'because', and not because i have to. i'm running among other things...SQL Server Enterprise, Exchange Server, Sharepoint, IIS, Apache, MySql, php, AND perl. and i have NO ISSUES!!!
for a home box...you need...
1. SP2...it's bascially a new OS vs SP1.
2. enable the built in firewall. it does the job fine. get a router. i use D-Link Wireless, DI-624, and lock it down.
3. enable auto-updates. i was reluctant to do this, but you must now.
4. get avast! virus protection...the free version. it's the best out there and works with SP2 perfectly. in fact, M$FT recommends it on their web site (somewhere).
5. get CCleaner, "Crap Cleaner". it's nice and gets rid of unwanted junk in the registry.
6. schedule a defrag once per week.
7. get at least 512mb of memory. 1gb is better.
8. get a secondary hard drive for all of your data. NO DATA FILES on primary hard drive. NONE. EVER, unless you're running RAID.
9. not necessary, but i do it...once the OS and your base applications are installed, create an image of the hard drive...once per year, wipe it clean and reinstall everything. if you know what you're doing it should take an hour. bfd?
10. RTFM!
it's not that hard. if you spend your time on a P2P, downloading porn 24-7, i wish you luck, with any system you're running.

I have had my home built pc with XP Professional for over 2 years now and have not had one single problem. If your smart with your computer and keep it clean, you shouldnt have a problem.
