Geoff advice to anyone buying a new Microsoft WinXX machine is to MAKE SURETHE STORE supplies it with all latest updates installed!. After the fiasco with Mary’s machine where it picked up viruses in the short time of connecting to cable modem.
Also the downloads are so large that you will find it very dispiriting to go through the palava with Microsoft. see here
Lovely catch22 from NTL. When fitting cable modem disable all virus protection, you then get welchia virus twice during registration. You call NTL help to be told no help is given unless virus protection is installed!! That little saga equals 3 hours of my life!
The full report here about the threat to security because Microsoft has such a dominant influence on home software. I think its probably correct especially the way its impossible to seperate the software into its components ie impossible to remove media player with all its hidden parts that can be activated remotely.
