From one of the above posts you should always have a copy of windows to reinstall?? Who wants to do that? Re-install to many times and your system gets messy.

How about doing this one simple thing - buy an Apple computer. Firewall comes activated out of the box. Apple's mail program features a good mail filter PLUS allows you to bounce mail back. Why is this good? Because it makes it look like your email address is bad.

Of course it is always a good idea to back everything up but how does this save you from the time it takes trying t get your system clean? That is the real problem. In my experience that is where my time used to be spent. Of course now I have a mac (Apple) and there are few to no known virus in the wild for Mac OSX.
