Give Your Windows Computer a Career

I've discovered an easy way to keep a P4 computer busy for a Looooonnnngggg time. Do a FULL Scan in Windows Defender. I admit that my system is not typical. It has 1.6 TB of used drive space on 6 drives. I expected that it would take some time. Ouch. It ran for 29 1/2 hours.

The idea was to scan it all and then start transferring files from the NTFS partitions on the Windows box to the ext3 partitions on Debbietoo. I just didn't want to transfer the malware too.

As I empty the drives, I install them in Debbietoo and re-format them as more ext3 volumes. Yes I know that I can mount NTFS volumes in Debian. Its too scary though to attempt to write on NTFS under Debian.

Too bad none of its billable time.
