    Hello,

    It has been said in this thread that :
    I don't know if it has been mentioned, but this means that running under a restricted user account, as I do, will protect the user no matter the HIPS he uses.

    Of course, any HIPS not passing this test under an administrator account should be fixed to detect and block it. I just wanted to highlight a simple protection measure.

    Regards,
    gkweb.

    Unfortunately, I cannot wait. There are not XP drivers my new laptop requires ... sigh .. But I should say after two monthes with Vista it doesn't seem so ugly it did from the very beginning :)

    And it's really much more secure, even with UAC disabled and under admin account.
