1 unpatched XP box, 1 week.
This should be interesting...
Good luck. The other day I put a clean installed XP SP1 computer on the internet, and got a net send alert within about 10 seconds , and within about 5 mins, it had already been exploited. This was exploited before I had chance to download MS antipyware (which isn't as good as it first seems now, I think). The spyware I, (or MS antispyware and spybot S&D), couldn't get rid of it, so I had to delete, reinstall, and then reinstall SP2, antispyware before connecting it to the net again.

If it is SP2 you might last a bit longer, but SP1 will probably be exploited in minutes. (On BT openworld's network anyway)

Its a bit annoying as I wouldn't mind having SP2 on my desktop, but the b****rd won't install, and I can't seem to get round it.
