rooting - How do I root Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro (MK16a/i)?

I am kind of new to Android and smartphones.

Phone: Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro
Model number: MK16a
Android version: 2.3.4

So far, I have been able to find the following sources:

• I first saw this XDA-Developers thread. It seems relatively complicated. (And I haven't had much experience with the Linux shell either, so I shy away from this...)



• The previous thread linked to this thread, which was 'easier'.
  
  
  
  • However, reading the instructions, I need ADB drivers or something. No clue how to get these.
  
  
  • Also, avast has blocked parts of the file from downloading. (Zerg rush...?) I can disable avast's web shield temporarily, if you guys recommend this method.
  
  
  
  


• This article which mentions a thread similar to the previous one.


• Android Forums - Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro: All Things Root Guide.

I would rather do this using as foolproof, easy, and unlikely-to-brick method as possible.
