XP never goes "belly up" unless it's used by somebody who doesn't really
know a computer is for ! ...and that same person is usually a paper
oriented small to medium business person, who thinks that because they've
spent £1500 on a PC package, it's going to miraculously take over all their
paperwork simply by switching it on !!!!!!

At the local library. Or for someone considering buying a new computer.
Or
for someone reinstalling after XP goes belly up on them. From their
computer at work. From a friend's PC . . . .

If your computer is a on a Windows Platform you need to disable the
Services that Windows leaves opens, for starters. Most home users
aren't using a Virtual Private Network, Mail Server, FTP Server, TCP
Server and so on. You also need to install a Firewall, whether it be
software or hardware oriented ONLY before you put your computer on
the Internet. Trojan Horses disable anti-virus and firewalls. An
anti-virus application will secure your computer to "some" degree,
but NOT unless you can secure your e-mail, browser and internet
settings and

applications. Without the above security, the malicious hackers are
already abusing your computers to take down Networks, Servers, trade
drugs, guns, bo*bs, and so on.
This is only a small list of areas which deal with security, malware,
backdoors, trojan horses and more.
