You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

Our computer is at the state where it almost doesn't work (ALREADY&#33 ;) because of spyware, adware, dangerous files, etc, etc. We have Spybot, Norton, and the highest level security from Windows...and yet it still screws up. Me and my parents are pissed. This never happened to our Macintosh comp.

that probably means that:

a. you are wandering around shady parts of the web
b. you haven't updated spybot OR norton's definitions
c. you REALLY need to reformat

Don't forget to join a programming group! AIM me if you wanna join the one I'm in. I'm sure that they'll be happy to add a 89 programmer. :D

Something you should also do is get Mozilla! A lot of spyway and XPBackfire-esque installs itself from pop-ups, but only in IE. Also get adware free versions of software, such as Kazaa Lite.
