Ditto, same here. I love the upgrade and was so impressed with the original system I bought a new Dell with XP installed on it for the daughter.

I run Norton and Ad-aware and followed Windows advice on installing their firewall. With good advice from Freepers I keep up to date on Windows Update and have not had any significant problems even though Norton has detected a few viruses and did a good job of isolating and eliminating them.

Good luck on getting your system fixed successfully.
