So I got out my old PC and decided to do an experiment.

I did a fresh install of XP Home Sp2 and booted it up.

I had no Anti-Virus, no Firewall etc.

I opened up IE6 and started surfing.

I visited some rather dodgy sites and some not so dodgy sites.

I downloaded every thing I was prompted to do and installed it.

This is what a HiJackthis scan bought up and a Spybot scan!

That's so true, I always say to customers as an example of how bad the Internet can be.

"I can bugger a PC to a point where it's unusable in 5 Min's using the Internet, whether it has anti-virus and spyware protection or not."
