Since I can remember.

Since I can remember. I have REinstalled Windows Operating system so many times on different computers.
Tonight was probably the 50th. When I wasn’t busy working and was online almost 24/7, I remember reinstalling the system every other weeks because of viruses and such from napster, bearshare, kazaa and simply internet websites in general…
This time, it’s a website I visitted. Believe it’s or not the last webpage I went to before getting this crap load of adware, spyware and other bullshitware is Fortunecity.com. While I was on the page, a small windows popped up saying the installation is completed. (WTF? Without my permission? It can install…itself?)
Since then, there were millions pop-up ads. Internet Explorer didn’t load a website, instead, kept loading lycos search page up. I’m not sure if this weird activities only happen when I’m online. My computer hooked up to a LAN with cable modem access, so it’s online 24/7.
Right now, all I’ve got is Windows XP. (Oh, and anything that comes with it like internet browser) The most annoying part of reinstalling system is BACKING UP data and RESTORING Applications.
The first thing I’m going to install on my computer is …
Norton Utilities (oh, and the anti-virus too)
