How rude of them! Bloody malware - becoming a right PITA. If you don't run a lot of software and mainly use the computer for internet browsing then you really can't do better than linux mint or some similar distribution. Nice and easy to use, completely free, quicker than windows and NO VIRII! You can get it to run the normal windows software using WINE, but generally there's an equivalent (and better) version of the software already made for linux.
