I spend most of time on the internet using win 98. Works ok and not many attacks.
I recently got a worm on my 530n HP which is a 2.8mhz and runs winxp home edition. It was, was disabling and rendering the virus protection, and malware programs useless. Damn, they are getting sophisticated. It eventually locked up the computer, or I killed some crutial function, trying to get rid of it. All I could get was a blank screen.
HP has the partitioned hard drive with restore capability....you don't have to reload the operating system and drivers from disks. Never used it before but it restored everything....amazing.
Good to know. Thanks. I heard that restore feature worked. Thought of trying it just for the heck of it...next time I am on a friends computer...
