I agree with you 100%, if you want to run Windows any version, you would have to have Anti-Virus,Anti-Spyware, and have a decent firewall to protect you from harms way, even if you have all of that, still some crap makes it way into your computer. It is just that I did not know that Microsoft did away with its genuine advantage program. It is good to know anyhow for all the friends that use the other version of Windows. I try to convince them to use Linux, but they are comfortable running windows, whichever version it is. > > > The information contained in this message and any > attachment may be > proprietary, confidential, and privileged or subject > to the work > product doctrine and thus protected from disclosure. > If the reader > of this message is not the intended recipient, or an > employee or > agent responsible for delivering this message to the > intended > recipient, you are hereby notified that any > dissemination, > distribution or copying of this communication is > strictly prohibited. > If you have received this communication in error, > please notify me > immediately by replying to this message and deleting > it and all > copies and backups thereof.
