Just purchased XP and after 5th reinstall am still stuck.A combination of XP being completely rubbish on security and BTInternet ditto ... means I'm coming to the end of my tether trying to get XP up and running without viruses (they get sent before I even open IE or can install the latest security updates ... )SOWho has any opinion?

First, unhook your network cable before installing. Once you install, turn on the firewall on the NIC. Then plug in the cable. This will keep the virii out.
