If,and I did mention that I boot from a thumbdive which prevents the infection
my system, then IMO that's all need be said.
Take a look at this version of Linux, a LiveCD which can also be put into a
bootable thumbdrive, this one released by the NSA.

Ain't nothing like FREE, and Linux has over 30,000 free applications (programs
or utilities).

Armando, Chuck,
"I, for instance, boot
from a live thumb drive and NOTHING can ever infect my system."
I never heard you mentioning that before; it sounds like
what everyone should be doing!
Is there any down side to doing a thumb drive boot?
Do you recommend it?
If so I will do a search for how to do.
Chuck,
"MSE and some other update from MS is a big
mess up"
Now that I am using MSE I sure appreciate you mentioning
this flaw. If I have a problem I will know what is causing it.
Thanks Armando and Chuck--I may have come a long way in
Computer understand since joining TTT, but with the incite you
and the other experts on this site have it sure keeps me
learning every time I log in!!
As usual, thanks for sharing your expertise.

attack or contamination, but then again, MSE would have also
caught these various email provider's av scanners' shortfalls.
But anyway, there's system restore to take you back to a
previously uninfected system. Should any be a real BAD thing that
they allow to come through, there's always a way to overcome it
and not allow it to become the pest that it might have been
intended to be.
Please, keep in mind that I only use and have XP, Vista and 7
installed in order to help out others who will not change to any
of the many of versions of Linux that are out there. The best one,
of course, being that one which you feel you like. I, for
instance, boot from a live thumbdrive and NOTHING can ever infect
my system.
2.5 cents' worth, mine.
