I agree with Stare At The Sun, and add this one addendum, reformat immediately if possible. I can't stress this enough. Cookie-cutter store-bought b0xen (that's right I'm leet, I said "b0xen" oooh!) always come stock with a craplode of spy/mal/bloatwarez. Computer companies always, always put unecessary shit on their computers. Therefore, before you even fire whatever machine you purchase up, I suggest going into BIOS, changing your boot order, putting cd-rom first, and then pop in the damn XP restore disc that the company you buy your computer from often sends. I realize that companies like HP have recently (as of 2002 at least) have stopped shipping restore shit with their PCs, and you must request it from said company. I also realize that not having a disc come with it makes for a difficult situation, so it might be best to just order an OEM version of XP Pro from a respectable online reseller like Newegg.

However, if you don't mind all that shit, just stick with whatever your computer company's build of XP has on it.
