After formatting and installing my new hard drive, I had been running it for about a week without anti virus software. I knew it was giving problems due to malicious software so bought an internet security software package. It's immediately sorted all the problems I was having. The initial Hard disk scan found over 1200 problems!. It sorted them all. Seems to be a pretty good package. I'll soon know how good it is I guess. It just shows that without a seperate anti-virus solution windows xp is for all intensive puposes practically useless for internet browsing.
