Everytime I put on a new installation of WinXP I get killed with spyware and adware. This even happens if I run all the updates, install anti-viruses and ad-aware before my computer really has a chance to do anything else.
Recently, the internet would be SUPER slow (cable) so slow it feels like I'm back on dial-up. When I reboot into Linux, everything works just as quickly as it should.
I would like to keep WinXP for certain things. Is there any other precautions I should take into account on my computer?
I have WinXP pro installed on a FAT32 partition, would that make any difference in the way it performs?
