I take it, from your sarcasm, I have nothing to worry about? My younger brother had a similar problem before. When one of our grandparents sat down to do something on his computer, random Italien porn sites constantly popped up. My parents still don't trust him on the computer.

while working with hardwares for about 7 yrs before jumping over to software, one thing that amazed me about people with important data is that they rarely ever back up their hddr.

if the data is important enough that it needs to be recovered, it's worth awhile to back it up often enough to prevent from losing them. with price of dvd burner and so on going down every day, backing up 4.7gb of data shouldn't be of that much issue.

having said that, i do back up anything that's remotely important to me on dvd. it's a painless way to recover the data when someone decides to have fun on my computer.. like my 5 yr old son or his lil brother. there is nothing like fdisk, format, and reinstall to get rid of every trace of old data on the hddr.
