    Id rather others do the advanced beta testing other than me, will get involved after about a year thats normally when everything on a piece of software/hardware is sorted.

    If you have a pc come with a vista liscense and you downgrade make sure you keep it as once your ready it will save you spending your money later.

    With regards security internet wise most important thing is the isp which close or hide many ports and the router as many have firewalls and nat bulit in. I ran a port test on a mates pc and his cable connection and cable modem were the security flaws as he had a fully up to date xp os, with exactly the same av,asw and software fw as me running.

    This is the understatement of the century....

    I was conned originally to buy Norton, with my first pc, by some pimple faced little dork at Dixon's...
    Within 3 months, I had collected 346 viruses, worms, with husbands and wives... Norton Didn't get rid of any of them... But managed to provide a fertile breeding ground...

    So my son got the pc in safe mode, deleted Norton and installed AVG free edition........... 35 minutes later the pc was as clean as a whistle.
    At the moment, I am using AVAST, again the free edition... Marvellous program, and not as intrusive as AVG

    I like Avast, too! I used to have McAfee but the darn thing was such a memory hog. Haven't had any problems with Avast since using it.
