Bullcrap. Stop being vague. Having common sense isn't going to keep Windows from getting bombed with spyware. MY solutions are common sense.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
F*ck Microsoft.

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.
What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

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?

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.
