I'd put this at the TOP of the list. If you don't use any Microsoft
products at all, you will avoid 99.9% of ALL the problems you mention.

If you MUST run Windows to run something like Tradestation, put it on
a separate box behind a router/firewall, and DON'T use it for anything
else. If you have other boxes on a local net, isolate them from the
Windows box. Windows is like smallpox - you don't want to be near it
if possible. :-))
