Has this really been a problem since XP SP2? Maybe I haven't been using my windows machine enough, but I honestly can't remember having any malware issues in quite a few years.
- eitland 13y agoNeither have I. But just the other night I visited my friends house and had a look at his kids pc. (And some windows pcs even come preloaded with mcafee scareware that will be showing pop ups and eventually block your Internet access.)
