pretty smart worms if they can find your connection in the twenty minutes it takes before you can patch. I don't disbelieve the author, but it does seem like a match to start a Microsoft bashfest when it seems more like a case of significantly bad luck to me.
I run XP and I've installed and reinstalled XP on numerous machines both NAT routed and otherwise and never had a virus problem before I could patch.

Where exactly are these viruses you're getting coming from? Without an email client installed, and without navigating to any shady websites between install and patch, I don't understand how your computer could have been infected. It's not like Viruses just appear on unpatched computers, they have to be let in somehow.

Easy solution there: change your ripping medium to high quality Mp3, burn it to CD once, then click the import button. You now have non-DRM copies of the songs. You don't even need to take the CD out of the drive.
