With an abundance of willing research monkeys here, why bother?

I generaly use Yahoo. I know that research uses lots of time and may only offer incomplete info. Router and virus info? No answer given about it. Only a discription about what a router does. I do not come in here about subjects I know about or subjects I can research for my self. I do not consider computers simple. The only reason the subjest came up is when the computerman told me he could put a router on my computer when I told him I do not like the idea of a gaming computer being online where it can be infected.

You're not gaming if you're not online.

If your PC has decent up to date anti-virus, anti-spy, firewall and firewalled router, you use firefox instead of IE and stay away from dodgy sites, there's no reason why you shouldn't be online anyway.

EDIT: Oh and bin Yahoo and switch to google, immediately
