I mean is it a case that you must update all the time?

shit i am thinking it might just be better to buy those $399.00 dell specials, use em for 90 days then change em out for a new one!!!!

any comments to help a poor sap like me out?

I dont worry about our network cause boldy and inabon have that under control, but my personal PC, and my wifes, are something different.

is there any simple answear?

I run adaware and norton system works as well as system mechanic and McAfee Virus scan on mine once a week. That combination seems to keep me pretty clear of anything malicious. On the other hand, my wifes fathers computer was running super slow and had some sort of malicious toolbar on it that had been there for months. He isn't too computer savvy so I said I would come on over and run some spyware removal stuff for him. I ran it and it completely fucked his internet explorer somewhere in the registry to where it wouldn't run at all anymore.

I left quite an impression that day.

It's best to run that stuff in safe mode btw...
