The sad part of that I was stung by embedded malware that got installed by the installation script. But most of the time, things were clean for most of the online DVD's I purchased. Getting rid pf the malware was a lot more difficult as it was not recognozed as such by most AV scanners. So, I had to reformat the drive and reinstall the OS and all the packages from their original CD's and DVD's.
