One way to beat the silly virus worm guys..........use and old pc with an old OS. to keep some important backup stuff on if you have one lying around.
Most hackers/viral worm writing idiots use latest stuff and too busy exploiting me/xp/2000 etc and forget to fuck with win3x or 95 lol.
Rather than throw it out fit a rewriter and use it as a storage/backup facilty thats never connected to the net........dont forget to scan all your stuff before u transfer it though :moon:
Save u a load of time and money as most people throw away their old stuff or give it to the kids etc

i backup my 4 gigs of website files every week :)
and i normally reformat and reinstall the OS every couple of months anyway just to be 100% sure i clean out adware, spyware, viruses and any other crap.
