Good lesson to be learned here. The more complex something is the more
fragile it becomes. The more parts there are, the more things there are
to fail. And fail they will.

I cringe when I see windows users chasing programs that fixes security
flaws in windows. I use
outpost free, spybot, and avg free anti-virus. Then downloading
programs I search with the term spyware and need nothing more.

It took me a long time to understand that less is easier and better in
windows because you are bombarded with software.

Anything that's free and doesn't use spyware, or toolbars ect, and
doesn't have a trial period is generally what to use. People say oh
don't be soo cheap and buy the programs, but how many programs in
windows that you would want to use, that you would pay for? That
doesn't have a bunch of extra crap that you would never really need
and may make your system less than stable.

There's nothing bullshit about it goofball, it's a commonly accept axiom
among people who know what they're talking about.

It's bullshit as most axioms are. Axioms are for cretins who want Simple
Simon sayings to control and uncontrollable world. Cretins can't think,
don't think and rely on axioms to do their thinking for them.

Best of luck.
