Sorry, this double post is caused by my virus software updating in the background

Oh the irony

Maybe Windows 7 will lay all of this to rest!

May 'the Google' be with you!

Yes of course you will still need those. Windows 7 does not make all those antivirus programs obsolete.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Vista has a firewall, so I suspect Windows 7 does too. There was nothing mentioned about it or antivirus during installation, unless I missed it.

It depends which 'sluggisly slow' virus programs you use, I use AVG on Vista and it's totally invisible to me, never had any problems. Norton however feels like it halves the speed of my computer.

I need pageviews! most fun profile ever :)
