"I'm still debating whether I should install before putting the new computer on the net" So long as you do it soon after and certainly before doing any major browsing it should not be a problem. Only completely unpatched machines unprotected by a router will catch worms. As most are updated and behind routers it should be less of an issue. If you are not behind a router you really should have the machine patched up to sp2 at the very least before connecting to the Internet. Regards.

If I install beforehand, I'm going to get stuck as soon as the programme wants to go online and update ... and if I install afterwards ...
