I have to use Windows also -- I need my Natural Selection. That said, I refuse to let Windows store my Steam password, and only use it to install NS, because the installer doesn't work on Wine.

Speaking of which, have you tried Wine for this? Do keep trying other projects as well, btw -- check out ardour.sf.net -- "infancy"? Feels much smoother than Pro Tools to me.
For that matter, you might take some time to learn some code -- math/programming and music skills go hand in hand, and it solves the problem of being an end-user. Rather than whining about a missing feature, you go write it. Not that whining is bad, just that coding can be a lot more fun and productive.
Anyhow, if I were you, I'd have a separate computer (an older one) to use for stuff you want to be secure, and use your windows computer for stuff that you back up a lot.

Try unplugging the cable? I wouldn't trust XP any farther than I can sled on an install disk. I'd either keep the cable unplugged from my first boot or assume it was already infected.

Alright, point taken. I still would say: tell them first that they need to be more secure than Norton Firewall, and give them the resources (how-to's) to do it. Then tell them how to fix Norton Firewall, if they still want to do it that way. | | |>Most secure solution: install FreeBSD (or some other BSD).

Yes :P I HATE Debian Stable. Debian Testing is tolerable. Gentoo is God. (bicker, bicker, bicker)

And firefox isn't? Last I checked, freenet is a hell of a lot harder to install than firefox or thunderbird.
Also, novices can usually follow step-by-step directions, and novices who want to use Freenet should probably be given a notice as to where to find such directions for how to secure themselves -- at least moderately.
