Perfectly runs Ubuntu, much faster, without any DRM, immune to ALL the

Best to just run Firefox, much better in the tabbed browsing, more
mature, less opportunity for exploits...

But, all those also have total registry access!

Grab Grifsoft.com AVG instead, as it is the premiere AV program, and is
FREE!
Then, you really should grab these, FREE:
CrapCleaner, run at least once a week.
Spybot S&D
Lavasoft Adaware
hijackthis
shootthemessenger
They only slow the system a small amount, much less than hosting 1723
different trojans, virus, malware worms would.
The better option is to grab a liveCDrom of
http://www.mepis.org and let
your system run from ramdisk. instant reboot goes back to running
Windoze on the harddrive.
