Got it. While I'm begging, what R yall using for Anti-V? I'm using the free Avira but I hate the screen nag.

Kaspersky.

Features:
- small
- not memory/CPU intensive (unlike norton or McAfee)
- small number of people using it - which means fewer virus makers test the viruses against Kaspersky - you are safer
- relatively cheap

I'm not sure it works for Vista yet though. I doubt it. Vista enclosed a lot of its API.

I wish SmartFTP was free :( I get 2 annoying notices every time I open SmartFTP.

I'm not using one, but looking at this list (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/windowsvistaRC1AV.mspx), AVG is up there.

Updating it fixes the small little hang ups it has. You should only have to click once if its updated and it becomes like a habit if you use it a lot. And i don't understand why anyone would buy the thing i can't think of anything else it would need to do that would be charged for.
