Hi all,
I need to setup my parents' computer with Windows and
was thinking of ways to prevent them from
inadvertently installing spyware/adware.
Windows is a must since it is all that they are
familiar with.
One idea I had was to
1. Install Linux with VMware ... and an image of
windows XP. That way, if their current image got
messed up with spyware, I could have them make a copy
of the original clean image and use that.
Are there better ways of doing this?
Thanks
