I am a fellow mac nut, been with the fam since appleIIc... but i've got to make a switch. the wrong one! architecture and 3d modeling kinda requires the purchase of a desktop pc...
but i'm asking this question primarily for my girlfriend... for my pc has not yet arrived.
her dell laptop has become increasily sluggish. i've seen many pc's bite the dust in this way in the past year due, it seems, to spyware, adware, and the like.
how should she proceed to recover her computer? and how should i avoid the same fate in my pc when it arrives? (short of not hooking it up to the internet)
thanks,

I fear the only truly sucessful way is a complete reformat of your hard drive and reinstillation of windows every 3-6 months so get an external HD and back everything you do up... its fun reformating its like geting an new computer every six
