The 2 versions of Tiny XP I tried were 100% clean - and I use 
ESET NOD32, the best AV program - AND I pay for it, even though 
I know where to get free def updates - I am not ALL evil ;-)

I noticed that in XP "versions" I have tried, the "malware" 
found are usually the MS updates/verification "workarounds" and 
disablers.

Generally, I have found /maybe/ 5 or 10 malware instances in 10+ 
years of DL'g stuff from the "usual places" - I like to try 
programs, but I usually delete them after 20 minutes. I am 
certainly not going to pay $50-$500 to play around for 20 
minutes! OTOH, I /have/ happily paid for free/donation programs 
of /real/ quality.

That is also a very good possibility.

Funny how that tends to happen, huh?

Cheers.
