I'm on the same page as you w.r.t AV crappola required       for Win OS! I'm sick of it. I delay the Win7 Security Essentials update       announcements for as long as I can. I *hate* being forced to reboot after       other system updates. Even the shutdown process forces you to wait as it       installs stuff, then there is further delay during the actual reboot.              I installed a network driver update one time and all my previous settings for       wake on lan and mouse/keyboard wake and other things were overwritten.              I generally put my win pcs on hibernate.              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 18/200 19/10 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 360 227/114 229/354 426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 280/464 5003 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 229/426           |
