finally im going with avast or windows security essentials and geswall free

Yes - hey! I've another one to say "I couldn't agree more" to. Reminds me of "that's what she said". Anxiously waiting for OnLive to come out, if it ever does here in Sweden - would be awesome to test, really. Think about it - just some strong, single-core graphics card for games that don't come out there and a Mac with Bootcamp for some Windows installation. (Yes, that's some of my fantasies for the time I spend by the computer. )

Steam indeed has a great method in providing games as a services - but thank god I've backups of my games on there, especially the big ones.
