I ONLY run XP through VMware to use Yahoo.. but in a few months i will not be using XP at all.... My school requires Microsoft Word/Excel/Powerpoint but I was just confirmed by campus tech that I CAN use a Mac as long as I have a browser that will support the campus website (online schooling)... and if I run Office 2004 or earlier... which I have for Mac... Question...... I want to wipe out XP and reinstall only to clean up that part of the partition of unwanted crap... and then just run Yahoo... i won't be surfing the web with XP or using any email client.... [b]QUESTION!![/b] Am I still vulnerable to hackers/malware/spyware/bugs and viruses even if I DON"T connect to the web or email in XP? All web surfing and email will be done through Mac....
