Words to live by. First thing I did when I heard bots were making a comeback was load up my VM.
https://www.virtualbox.org/ For anyone who isn't familiar with it. Just put your Windows CD (Or download a linux ISO if you want to do that) and you can install a "virtual" copy of your OS and then run it just like a program on your computer. Keeps everything in it's own sandbox so if you get a virus on the virtual machine it won't crawl onto your host.
