If all you do is play on the web and get email, switch operating systems. Linux (Mint, ubuntu, pclinuxos, red hat fedora, novell suse, etc.) and the bsds (pcbsd, desktopbsd, freebsd, netbsd, etc) don"t have virus problems and are used by the some of the biggest corporations in the world(ibm, google, yahoo, etc). Dell, lenovo, and even wallmart(website) sell machines with linux installed. Many have live cds that allow you to try to operating system out before you install. Backup your machine (if you"re going to install), download an iso of your choice and burnit to a cd. Reboot and see what a fast operating system is like. Especially on older computers (>5 years). For the curious, Distrowatch.com carries reviews and tracks popularity of the various oses. Of course you could get a mac(osx is freebsd under the hood). If you still need windows for certain things(games, specific hardware) you can dual boot your machine or run windows programs under emulation. I"ve used linux for over a decade with no data loss or even an os failure. The server alone ran from 1998 to 2004 when the tornados hit the house, its still running today with all the data still on it from 1998 and accumulated since. I"ve been using linux on the desktop for over a decade with no virus problems, and I don"t just surf the net and get email with my rigs.

I"m sorry if this seems like an ad. It"s not. I"m just tired of people having to spend good money(that they may need) on problems that already have a practical cure for free. That"s with these troubled times anyway.
For those interested, Mint is currently rated as the easiest for linux and pcbsd for the bsds.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
