Dang, you have tons of security software on that pc. :P

Spyware Guard is old, since your running pest patrol I would get rid of it.(same thing for defender if you have it.)

The only thing I would run full time was Etrust AV. The rest you could just scan with once every week or 2 weeks.(not that you should get anything anyway)

How many processes do you have at start up? :D

well, a bunch, probably about 30. And you're right, too much stuff, gonna get rid of most of it, am due to reinstall everything here in a month or so. However, I must admit to "staging" that picture for effect. . ."Spyware As Art". . .??

Have learned a lot about what to trust in freeware on this forum. Best forum I have seen. Wish I could contribute more , will as I can.

Seriously going to wait as long as possible before going to Vista. Bill Gates fields these darned operating systems, the users tune them up for him, their time and maybe money. I don't begrudge him profits, but I will wait.

Haven`t really thought of it that way. Nicely said.

Have a stroll into the lounge. It`s where us lesser mortals talk about really important things (like peanutbutter & jelly/jam sandwiches) while the clever guys fix all the problems. :rolleyes:

I don't know if I'm ever going to put vista on my own machines.(I'm sure I'll encounter it plenty)

I'm not convinced its really much of an upgrade and I want to see what people think of it say 6 months down the road.
