I am a "Technologist", a Technology enthusiast that is usually the one that is called should a major catastrophe strike an end user. My saga of computer rescues becomes a plot that is ever so thickening, if not only for the fact that's it's becoming incredibly easy for hackers and malicious code writers these days to invade personal property to find, seek, and destroy. Each year, virus and hacker threats increase, and in addition the damage trail left behind is something of a problem. Not to forget, a majority of "PC Panic" cases I've come across are often times the same common, "major" problem.

sorry but i hav to disagree okay maybe you are talking about a the majority of Windows users, i have been a windows user since 3.1, and i have had every version of windows since including, the NT server releases, i have a wide understanding of Hardware & software, i have used SuSE linux 8.2, red hat 5.1, gentoo Linux 2.0.1, MenuetOs 0.74, SkyOs 3.8.9, Aros 3.0, Amiga 3.1, OpenBeOS, V2 0s, Lindows and Mac Os 9, all of which hav there security holes, so far the most secure Os i have come accros is V2 Os but its a CLI system, built in assembler which means not many 3rd party Apps (eg trojan horses, Worms & viruses) can violate the system as many of these are multithreaded and v2 Os is not, making it basically usless as a Os for other than Dos style commands, the next most secure in my experience is SkyOs, because it is a totally original kernel and code it doesnt have any code which present Linux/Unix/Mac/Win viruses could use to propergate, the most secure distro of linux in my experience is Gentoo, because all files must start off as code and must be compiled before use, and the compiler scans for errors and code that could render the system comprimised, but in later releases of Gentoo that could have changed. i no i've babbled on long enough :-)
