i see your point.
but as i say as longf as all data is backed up, i would not be too worried.
personaly if you have the room, i would have one pc for pic and vid editing that is not conected to the net (except for mabe updates) and one for going online.
but i still think its an overkill to do what you sugested.
i have had lots of nasty stuff on my pc. i have an old pc with vista. and so far not needed to clear it.
with xp i was having to re-do it from scratch every few months.
softwear today seems much more secure.
i also suspect that they may target tablet and phones more as i bet they are more vunrabel and i bet do not have much protection.
Or to put it this way, why invade the usa when you can invade canada.
