In addition to other implied questions in this post, I ask this specific question: Can I block Double Click? If they are honest, they are at best, not careful. I'd like to have them gone. Can I do that? If so, then how? What is the price I pay? (Will I be denied access to most - or any - ordinary websites?)
Will said:In the future, Ray, might I suggest running one of the alternative browsers out there. Firefox and Opera are much less prone to suffering attacks, and Netscape and Safari are good as well. Ask any security professional what browser to use, and they'll generally give the nod to anything other than Internet Explorer. Its just too buggy.
If you are unable to get Windows back onto your computer, I might also suggest one of several free versions of Linux that work quite well and arent much of a stretch from Windows - which would at least help get you back into business.
gOS is included in Walmarts new $200 desktop and has been getting rave revies for its simplicity
Xandros is preinstalled on the new Asus Eee $300 Laptop and is also well reviewed for its extreme similarities to windows XP.
These OSs can be downloaded legally for free from their websites and burned to a CD, but if you're looking for a new computer, the ones listed above well reviewed and cheap.
