A few months?
What kinds of things do you do on the internet o_0? Do you have any sort of virus scanner (AVG is a free one), spyware scanner (ad-aware is a free one), and other software to keep your computer clean (Crap Cleaner is a good one to clean up temporary data).

Somewhat related in terms of PC security, but I was in one of my classes this past week and the instructor started talking about computer hardware and asked who has a virus scanner. To my amazement, there were a number of students who didn't raise their hand. One student even said that she doesn't want a virus scanner because she didn't want to spend the time or money to get one.
I almost did a facepalm right then in there and I'm probably going to mention to the instructor the availablity of free software to help people protect their computers.
