If you are only going to have:

Win 7
Mame 200
Launchbox

... on the box, and never update MAME or Launchbox... and this computer is going to do NOTHING else, then it's a moot point, as you have no reason to go on the internet.

------------------------------------

If you also plan to go on the Internet on this box... and you have no type of anti-virus or anti-malware installed... and you click on email links that tell you you just one $100,000 dollars... then yeah, that would be bad.

If you keep your other security programs up to date, and don't go to shady websites, then your computer should not be hijacked in the near future.



RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
