I have run My windows 2000 fine for the last month but now that i have the internet it is total load of rubbish. I installed all the drivers fine and had anti virus software installed but after just 2 mins on the net i had picked up 50 virus and loads of spyware now my computer is super slow and keeps crashing. i had only been on google nothing else and had not even searched for anything, my mate uses windows 2000 as well and has the same problem what could it be.
I'll make this brief: Click 'Windows XP Security Guide' in my signature. Although it covers XP, most of it translates to 2000 as well
