Windows "What is it with the Windows Vista Firewall and its refusal to go away? All our PCs are secured behind two firewalls: a hardware firewall and Microsoft ISA Server. The only traffic that gets in is the traffic that we want to get in. Now we can appreciate having the firewall on by default; but after turning it off over 20 times, it's getting to be too much."

I couldn't agree more. Rather like those corporations that "standardize" on exactly one vendor's Anti-Virus product. Just hope *you* don't get by the worm that silently avoids that particular flavor of protection...

The better way to avoid the virus issue is this; simply don't run McAfee or Nortons - and you won't have that problem.

For me, Kaspersky wins hands down everytime; its interface may not be exactly eye candy, but it does the job without bringing the whole thing down to crawl and crash the system.
