Good afternoon kingtaoist.

It is really dangerous to go online without an antivirus. Without one, you are extremely likely to get infected and the consequences could be even worse next time. Please download and install one of these excellent free antivirus programs:

AntiVir.

Microsoft Security Essentials.

Next, please do the following updates. Your version of Internet Explorer is out of date and by updating to the latest you will minimise the risk of future infections through these security patches and fixes.

Please open Internet Explorer and follow the instructions below to update Windows:

• Go to this link: Windows Update
  
• Download all the Critical updates, making sure you have selected Internet Explorer 8.
  
• Once they have been installed, please revisit Windows Update and select any further Critical updates.
  

Note:

It will be necessary for you to restart the computer during the updates, and return to the Windows Update site several times before all critical updates are installed.

IMPORTANT: Please enable Automatic Updates under Start > Control Panel > Automatic Updates to ensure your Windows updates regularly. This is extremely important in ensuring you remain protected against vulnerabilities and infections.

=====

Also, your version of Java is out of date. It's important to remove older versions of Java since it does not do so automatically and older versions can leave you vulnerable.

Please follow the instructions below to update Java:

• Please go to the below link and download the latest Windows XP version:
  

http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

• Save it to your Desktop.
  
• Please go to Start > Control Panel > Add Or Remove Programs.
  
• Navigate to any versions of Java (J2SE Runtime Environment) you have installed. They will have this icon next to them:
  
• Select Remove.
  
• Please double-click the installer and follow the prompts to install the latest version once all the previous versions have been successfully removed.

=====

Finally, your version of Adobe Reader is out of date. It could have security vulnerabilities, so please follow these instructions to update it:

• Please go to Start>All Programs>Adobe Reader.
  
• Open Adobe Reader and navigate to Help>Check for Updates.
  
• Please follow the prompts to install the latest version.

=====

In your reply please let me know how the updates go.
