No, he/she isn't. "DevilsPGD" probably knows more about network abuse than you
could ever hope to learn. Moreover, he/she is right.

Run away from what? There's nothing to run away *from* if you know what you're
doing. I've run a business network for 4 years now, all XP machines, and one
thing I *don't* have to worry about is infected machines. I don't worry about
them on my home network either - and before you go off on another ad hominem
frenzy of ignorance, keep in mind that I run both Windows AND Linux, among other
things, at home. (Thirteen machines, two of which are Apples.)

You're not making yourself look any better by being a crossposting virginmedia
git, either.

Perhaps it's time to toss virginmedia in the filters along with google. JHC.
