  Re: Re: old adage..

  Absolutely. I got an HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop in August that came with Vista Business preinstalled and it drove me nuts. Tried Ubuntu 7.10 out by dual-booting and it took me a week to decide that all of my boxes from here on out will be Ubuntu or at least some form of Linux. I love it and did install Avast for antivirus "just in case" and I'm looking forward to years with out problems. I may not be able to play as many games but I'm sure my wife has no problem with that.

  Windows Explorer

  Windows Explorer is not a virus?
  I don't think I can buy into that one.
  Too far fetched.

  was there anything . . .

  In the sites that was tripping the anti-virus software, or was it just a bug in the virus defintion itself?

  ESET's NOD32 a/v is small, fast, and very good

  I use ESET's NOD32 (http://eset.com) antivirus tool on Windows, and it's small, fast, and has never missed a virus. In fact, NOD32's claim to fame is that it has never missed an in-the-wild virus. Not surprizingly, they push out a virus database to their client sometimes two or three times a day.

  My favorite incidence of antivirus software blocking programs it should not be blocking was when my antivirus product X woul dnot let me install antivirus product Y. Then, my spyware program picked up multiple hits from antivirus X and Y. Why there is still no single product that does everything and actually does it well, continues to confound me on pretty much a daily basis.

  argghhh

  i've often found that certain anti-virus programs tend to block each other from running/installing they tend to squabble with each other, why is this?
