I got rid of IE with XPlite even when I used windows for internet.

I saw that. I still think he does "hate" (as far as hating software goes) FF.

it's difficult to be sure, considering how unstable all my windows installations have been anyway, but a lite install appears to be even less stable than normal, despite what you may read on the internet.

i suspect a linux distro would usually be a far better choice than a windows lite install for most people.

and of course that will sort out your IE/everything else conundrum once and for all.

Actually it is. The only way you can get infected with something is if you manually install it. I provide free advice on how to secure you system here: Secure XP. The only time you ever have to reformat a PC due to Malware infection is if it is a Rootkit. Otherwise it is always possible to remove the infection if you know what you are doing.
