If I do a reinstall for anyone, I usually make sure I am using as up
to date an OS disk as possible. Then whatever updates need to be
installed get installed. (I download them to a separate machine and
load them onto the reinstalled machine.)
When all that is done I make sure the Internet is functioning. Then
I install a antivirus program. (Antivirus programs traditionally
want an Internet connection to download updates.)

Zone alarm is too big a hog to use. The M$ firewall is sufficient for my

I would rather put a fairly up to date machine on the web to get the final
windows updates. A pre sp2 XP machine is just too vulnerable.
