Well this little virus thingie may just get me to move over to Linux, since the browser is the big issue and Firefox seems to be working well for most of what I do, and it will run on Linux.
Good idea! Depending on what other Windows software you typically use, you can usually either find an acceptable substitute or run the actual Windows program under WINE.
I haven't used Windows in many years. The only thing I miss is MS Flight Simulator. There is a Linux/UNIX flight sim, but it's not as good.
