I have 1key Ghost in my XP now.And I create a backup of my C:\ with a clean XP in and D:\ with softwares like Photoshop ,Flash,Firefox etc in.

Once I meet a great virus or system become slower and slower with no reason I know,I cover old C:\ and D:\ with this backup which is stored in F:\(documents are all in E:\).

This is very useful because virus is so common on the Internet now,and my laptop has more users except me, not all of them care my computer's security.

But since Vista's release, more and more softwares release their new version to be seen more as same as vista's look. So certainly, some softwares update not for vista but because more functions,like Photoshop CS3,and AutoCAD 2008. No mater what reason it is,I prefer new version.

So ,I need to re-backup my system, it is not easy!

First ,although NOD32 have scaned my pc in-depth, and then tell me there is no virus or other bad softs, I won't open the E:\ and F:\ to prevent virus.

Second, it's not easy to download some big softwares online such as CAD and PS,they are too BIG!

Third,I still not decide which firewall suit for me.ZA?Comodo?no no no!I need time to test them,then choose one from them, I have not test the OP,LNS and more...

Maybe, I'm too be careful about my pc.Most other student in my college who have pc just USE it like in netcafe. They don't care about pc-safe,just watch webpages,play games and chat on QQ.For example,I delete 14 virus and torjan on a girl's laptop with AntiVir,and her XP and all softs are in C:\, her study material in D:\, movies in E:\,XXX in F:\,oh god, she install Rising to prevent viruses,but she don't have any license code which can be find easily by a googling,so her Rising find viruses, but ask her to pay to kill them, she ask me to deal with this,I install Antivir for her(the only free safeware I know),but she uninstall it telling me she had used to Rising,oh,oh,God!

After getting ready,I will create a new XP,then backup it!
