I just heard about a interesting way to surf the web that seems completely safe.
Developed by the DOD, you boot off the CD and it loads a stripped down version of Linux that does not mount your hard drives, so there is no way for malware to affect your system.
The Deluxe version comes with Firefox, Adobe Reader, and OpenOffice pre-loaded. If you want save your data, you will need a USB stick.
It is not Windows, but if you want to access the Internet on a strange computer and are concerned about trojans and other malware, this might be the ticket.
[Note: Right now, the servers are VERY slow. I suspect that they are overloaded because of the publicity over this product.]
You guys hear of www.formvote.com ? It's a new social network. Should ask there.. interesting question.
