>> Good question Victoria,
>>
>> I have the same situation with a dedicated laptop for DAW purposes, and a
>> second laptop for internet and email use. I think its important to keep
>> your DAW up to date with windowsXP updates(automatic windows updates).
>> for that reason, I keep my DAW connected to a home network with a
>> fire-walled router, and the windows firewall on the DAW active. Also, I
>> have anti-virus (AVG free edition) and Anti-spyware (Webroot spySweeper &
>> AdAware), and those programs also check online for updates.
>>
>> Other than allowing windows, anti-virus & anti-spyware to regularly
>> check for updates, the DAW doesn't go online--neither internet or email.
>>
>> When I download patches and other stuff that I need to put on the DAW, I
>> download using the other laptop, then transfer the files via the home
>> network to the DAW. If you don't have a home network, you can do the
>> same thing, except use a portable USB thumbDrive to transfer files to the
>> DAW.
>>
>> Its hard to keep your DAW completely off-line, but you can minimize risks
>> by installing good anti-spyware and anti-virus, and keep internet access
>> to a minimum.
>>
>> Also, when recording, I shut down the background services of the
>> anti-virus and anti-spyware software to take some load off the DAW's cpu.
>> When doing this, its recommended to physically disconnect the DAW from
>> the Lan or internet connection as well.
>>
>> P.S. even with the DAW completely offline, it's surprising to see that
>> spyware manages to make its way onto your DAW--tricky stuff that.
