    I wished the modules could be installed seperately or I would be using the firewall right now, lol. I don't have the patience to set up Vista's outgoing.

    lol, you know what you could do... put in onecare and give it a test like me :D


    90 days, not bad for a trial. :eek:

    its average software, but should still protect it just lacks some features at the moment, the detection rate will come with time im sure.

    True, but i think it needs to bake a little longer---just like vista needs too..

    Yeah, it was a letdown for sure. If you want to try to set it up yourself you can go here to find out how:

    A lot of this stuff is over my head, this is definitely not for the average user. At least OC makes the set up easier.

    Actually with UAC and Superfetch (using RAM as a cache) it is getting kind of Linux-y, lol.
