Story: Service Pack 2: Patching the unpatchable

As long as something can install itself at system level without asking permission, the system won't be safe.
I hardly used my XP partition but I thought I'd scan for spyware and I was in for a shock. Thousands of things were found whereas I hardly ever use XP, let alone to go a stupid web sites.
Since then, I've hardly touched XP. I don't think Linux or MacOs don't have exploits but like it or not, their rarity (amongst plenty of other things) makes them safer.
There is a saying that goes : "to live happy, live hidden". Suits me fine.
