A way to protect yourself would be to only run a live cd version of some operating system, so that every time you boot up you have a clean install, and turn off your computer when you're not using it.

That's true. But you'd have nothing like bookmarks stored.

Hey, I tried this on my laptop with UBANTU but how do you setup your internet connection on the clean boot disk? My idea was to use this boot disk whenever I connect to my bank or financial institutions, but when I boot there is not internet connection????

If you know how, I am sure lots and lots of freepers would be gratefull in the how too!

Thanks!
