Not to defend Windows here, but the other guys, spammers, advertisers, Virus writers, etc are the ones that make Windows give its users trouble. They get ahold of the system and make it into a zombie machine. Finding those trackers/viruses/trojan horses is where the fun begins. Sometimes they are too many that the last resort is to reinstall it and cycle through the process again like Tim says.
