[uk-vac] Re: OT: Virus help
Simon,
As Martin stated earlier is integrated into the OS to various degrees
(big sigh). Instead of that, download Firefox (www.mozilla.org) and
use that, it's smaller and quicker. Even better don't bother
installing Windoze again and use a "real" operating system such as
Linux. Redhat, Mandrake, Suse, Debian are the more popular flavours
available. Linux comes with all the apps you need for everyday use
and better still it's free and doesn't need re-booting all the time
when apps are installed/un-installed. Windows registry is still the
archilles heel for the OS, it gets corrupted and it's blue screen
time again...
If you'd like to try out Linux get a "cd release" like Knoppix
(www.knoppix.org) - download it, burn it, boot cd and you're off.
It will not damage your existing OS and can even read an NTFS
partition. Give it a go!
p.s. Admittedly however, I have several systems including:-
Solaris(Unix), Linux(Red Hat) and MacOS(yeah Martin). WinXP
also for supporting my customer base.
Oh yeah, Win ME(Millenium) can burn in hell!!!
"Windows will lead you to the Dark Side of the Force!"
Cheers,
DaveO.
