If I create 2 accts and use one for just website browsing and its infected with like a ex. virus (snooper or some sort). Does it affect the entire computer or only that user acct? I was thinking of using one login id specifically for business stuff and one acct for web browsing, games, etc.

It effects your whole pc. I highly recommend running a free scan with Invisus Direct. When I did so, I was using Norton and AVG and it found over 70 hackers on my pc. I will never use any other program than Invisus!

I'm not a computer expert by any means, but I have 3 user accounts on my Window's XP and the account that I let my younger brother use had a virus and it didn't effect my user account or the other.

good idea. create two account one for daily use and one with adminstrator rights. use the user with limited access to search the web and other thing so if you mess up you can just delete the account. don't mess up the administrator acc or you have restore the os all over and lost all your program. your best bet is to firewall you computer so that virus won't get in and don't use adminstator account unless you know it is safe and you have to download the program with no problem.

it can affect the entire computer
especially if it's a boot sector virus or it nukes the ntloader ( as many do )
then your computer is going down no matter what
