In my case, I run the FireFox extension "NoScript" which disables Javascript on all sites, except for those that I explicitly allow.

I know the question is kind of vague and might not be answerable with
the lack of info I have given.

Lots of open issues here.

You may not be behind a firewall.

"Will reinstalling Windows too often trip up Windows Product Activation?
That is a little too spendy. I work from home and I use my computer
religiously. So the first problem is converting those pictures of
letters into the computer's internal representation of the equivalent
letter. Depending on who you ask, the answer is yes, or no.

Excessive heat is more of a danger than the number of times you turn the
computer off and on.

It's been in use now for years and even though many expected it we
haven't heard of widespread issues due to WPA. You may not be behind a
firewall.

Javascript is disabled on all sites except those you specifically allow.

So like I said at the beginning, what you describe is not only possible,
it's an epidemic. A friend of mine told me it is better to not turn off
my desktop computer every night, instead to turn it off every few nights
and just put it on standby every night. It's still the one machine.

That program is periodically called on by spammers to send spam on their

Should you is easy: sure, go ahead. Quoting the FAQ: "Activations on the

Microsoft's just not that organized, trust me.

Not only is it possible, it's an epidemic.

These are a good supplement to whatever protection you run on your
computer.

It's thought to be perhaps the single biggest cause of spam today. Now,
many external drives are removable.

You can do roughly the same in Internet Explorer by adding sites to the
"Trusted Sites" list, but the advantage of NoScript is simply ease of
use.

" How does activation of, say, WinXP differentiate between multiple
installations on one PC (legitimate), compared to single installations
on many PC's (pirating)? So why report it at all?

Use a removable USB thumbdrive or external hard disk and take it with
you. Would that require more licenses?

It's not as great a reduction as explicitly selecting standby, or
turning the computer off, of course, but it's a step.

Some do try, as in the case of trying to determine paragraphs in a more
traditional text document. Not only is it possible, it's an epidemic.
