[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 415744, member: 199791"] That's the thing about 2000, XP and possibly Vista, there's too many "back doors" that Microsoft left open, hence all the stupid, never ending updates, so, if you connect a freshly re-installed PC to the internet with no firewall and no decent interactive antivirus, you're very likely to have some sort of trojan horse sneak in very quickly, then you become an unwitting participant in a DDoS attack or other potentially unwelcome activities... :( [/QUOTE]
