aye, im running debian, with a side XP install for a few games... i had gentoo, but ran a little slow on my computer, while compiling stuff, debian seems to work a lot better, sides a few minor problems...

my XP install has just what it needs, antivir, nvidia drivers, logitech mouse&keyboard drivers, motherboard drivers and a few games, SimCity4, Morrowind... just for when i have nothing better to do...

Ok this is good news. I ran my system restore and got all of my missing programs and files back :). and also I removed one of my firewalls and kept my good firewall. I have a bit of hope in my computer\'s security but I suppose I have no choice but to trust my comp\'s security :(

just thought id point it out....

never think your safe cuase thats when your not... and you do stupid stufff like post that your protection is invincible on a PUBLIC forum... oh and btw u dont want \"invincible\" protection you want \"invisible\" protection . for example a way of subverting malware with dummy files so that whoever sent it doesnt send more.

on another note...

Xordan- good advice  but... while the majority of harmful...errm...stuff... is  downloaded as a direct result of your(the user\'s) actions there is still a fairly large amount of \"stuff\" which isnt and can screw you over for no reason. As such it is always a good idea to have atleast one good anti-malware program, anti-virus program( i personally recommend Norton), and a decent firewall. (which i might add should be included in any atleast mildely tech-oriented persons definition of common sense)
