Some time next year. You should read some of the other threads and use
Google.

This question was recently asked yesterday afternoon. Do you not read
any threads before posting?

I'd be more concerned about why you keep having to reinstall Windows, d00d.

So why are you bothered when SP3 comes out???????????
You do not seem to be bothered with other security matters.

If you only use your computer to surf the net, why are you asking a question
here?

why you ask ? Simple, I don't use the computer for anything but
surf the web , Its not use for any type of work . I don't like using
all those anti -blah softwares ( ad aware , spybot , anti-virus or
firewall ) why ? I don't care if my computer gets infected , Once I
believe it has been ? I reinstall ...

If the machine's connected to the internet or any networks, you're putting
EVERYONE at risk.

Your plan ignores the fact much spam and malware are spread using
compromised computers.

If you are not concerned if your computer gets malware, it is more
likely soon compromised possibly before you have any clue there is a
problem.

Those who spread malware like computers such as yours.
Those receiving the spam and malware dislike them for the
inconvenience they cause.

To add a little...
Think of your computer uses something like this.

A man buys a very cheap car.
Cheap so that if the car is damaged or destroyed, there is no real
loss since it is easily replaced.
He drives like that as well.
No problem if anything is hit, bumped or scraped since the car will be
replaced when the damage warrants.
This driver does not even think about the other vehicles on the road.
He also ignore his affects on pedestrians and nearby structures.
After all his car is easily replaced.

There are others on the road and your treatment of your computer can
affect others.

John.

You don't have to use a condom if you are having sex alone.

As for "harm"
That depends on haw you consider the effect of spam and other malware
that is regularly transmitted by these computers.

If your computer gets taken over, spam and other malware may be sent
by your computer without your knowledge since at that point it is no
longer your computer, particularly see #1 & #2 :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/community/columns/security/essays/10imlaws.mspx?mfr=true
This is one of the many sources of spam and most all of us pay the
price for spam.

So what you are saying then your computer never send this out because
you have all the necessary softwares to not allow this to happen ?

 

[Jupiter Jones [MVP]]

Never is a very long time.
However a protected computer with users practicing safe computing is
far less likely to have those problems.
Additionally a protected computer probably will never have to have the
operating system installed because of malware.
That helps save you and everyone resources.
