O.P. Running an experiment
Say I install WinXP SP2 in a PC without any firewall/antivirus protection and leave it permanently connected to the internet with a broadband connection. How long does it take for it to become infected? And eventually, what's the worse it can happen? Can the hard drive be eventually damaged permanently by some malware? Just curious to know how bad it can get when no protection is used.
