Look, I know some of these posts are stating the obvious, but this is a good place to start if you are new to running a computer and you need some security advice and some free programs.
Microsoft Safety and Security Centre.

There's good advice and some good free software here.
Also check out the Microsoft Security Scanner if you suspect you have a virus on your computer.

You just have to have some basic protection these days, and this is a good start.
Sometimes I fell a bit if a plonker pointing out these Microsoft sites, but they come in handy when you really need them. Believe. When you delete something vital in XP or Vista, this is where to come crawling for help.
Microsoft Help and Support.

"Top Issues
* Use "Fix it" automated solutions to solve your problems
* Download Windows XP Service Pack 3

* Connect and disconnect a network drive in Windows XP "
Cheers. Si.
