It is very easy to blame windows for your damage done. But have you done your homework properly from your part. Basically these are the simple ways to crash windows quickly.
> Surfing the Internet without Firewall
Users often browse the Internet without realizing the risk of getting invaded by viruses and attackers. Your computer needs to be protected by a firewall, make sure you have personal firewall software installed on the computer (like ICF/Windows Firewall built into Windows XP or third-party firewall programs like Comodo, ZoneAlarm, McAfee, and so on). But just having a firewall don't guarantee your protection. It needs to be configured properly as well. Hackers often break windows firewall easily. A poorly configured firewall has no significance.
> Not realizing the need for running and updating anti virus and anti spyware programs
Yeah, you can run without antivirus and anti-spywares. Puzzled! Well, its true if you are never going to browse the internet, or you are never going to insert flash drives in the USB port, and if you are never going to download attachments from emails. And still you can live without antivirus if you yourself are a virus writer and know all the advanced ways of viral infection. But, if you are an ordinary user, you got to have at least one antivirus program installed in your PC. They are costly, but definitely not to be ignored.
