There are no activation requirements or updating limitations on w2k.
It will do me until something better comes along and xp doesn't fill that bill.

Thank you all for all your help.

I will be getting new anti-virus/anti spyware etc. I was just wondering what you thought of "Bullguard"?

Bullguard has been tested by Sharman Networks, distributor of Kazaa Media Desktop

Whenever I hear or (see) the name Kazaa and another product mentioned in the same breathe or (line) I cringe.

I would get a proven Anti Virus app like .........
Norton , McAfee , AVG , Kasperasky or even Panda .

..and just get different anti spyware and a firewall?

shell26...... If you have Norton , thats a good proven AV .....
If you are using win XP , I would definately D/L .......
Microsoft antispyware Beta ......it's very good .....
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
I would also get the latest version of Ad-Aware SE personal ........
http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html
I would also get SpyBot Search and Destroy........
http://www.tucows.com/preview/310138

As far as a firewall is concerned .......Zone Alarm is a good one .....but there are others as well......
The one that is part of Win XP SP2 .......works ok to block things coming in ....but doesn't do the job on outgoing things .
