with protection but even that is not perfect. I trush a lot of my
email un read if i don't recognise the sender. After rebuilds it
invariably vinda up with the Microsoft software and sometimes i just
forget things i had on it and addresses where to get things and it is
always a major effort to re establish all my shareware programs mostly
the ones i actualy purchase. Now i have two hard drives and
periodicaly back up the complete Program Files to the second drive.
Ofcourse there probably versions of programs be lost, since you can't
plan on crushes but it will be much easyer than in past versions of my
computer.
The best way to avoid those problems is to not use any Microsoft
software. For example, there have never been any viable viruses for
Linux, which I use. Stability, reliability and performance are also
much better than Windows, on the same hardware. Most Linux versions
come with OpenOffice, Thunderbird and many other applications already
included. Macs are also much better than Windows, for similar reasons,
but they are also much more expensive. When it comes to things like
reliability, stability, performance, resistance to viruses etc., Windows
is by far the worst choice.
