a firewall isn't a bad idea either (other than windows firewall...i wouldn't even recommend leaving that on)

the best one i've found is called "sygate personal firewall". it's free. just google the name to find the download.

that's all.

You should get Windows XP Service Pack 2 before you do anything drastic. The firewall in SP2 is really good. Microsoft made some great improvements on it. If it comes to wiping the machine clean, I have a program that will actually zero the hard drive instead of making it overwritable (if that's a word). That the best way to do a clean install.
